Motor Power Monitor for Small Horsepower Centrifugal Pump Deadhead Protection
Switch is not a favorite device in our plant because it can fail without being noticed. By the way, I just heard that Eaton C441 or C445 may work for small (3-10HP) pumps - measuring the motor power and protect the pump from deadhead... Has anybody successfully used it for similar application?- PWEVO

Motor Power Monitor for Small Horsepower Centrifugal Pump Deadhead Protection
We are thinking about using power monitor to protect some small centrifugal pumps (from 3HP to 10HP, 3-phase, 480V) from deadhead in a chemical plant. But we were told that it won't be reliable and accurate for small pump application. We are not sure if newer instrument products are available...- PWEVO
