Hi everyone,
As am not a native english speaker there are some words that i can't understand such as "pump tripping" or pump trip , can anyone explain it to me. Thank you in advance
 
It means the pump has stopped running as a result of the control system turning the pump off, known as "tripping" the pump.

Example causes are high high pressure, low low pressure, low flow, excess amps, over heating of motor, excessive seal leakage.

The things which can "trip" the pump are normally shown in the Cause and Effects (C & E) diagram.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
 
thank you LittleInch,
Goog explanation
 
Some problem with the pump caused the motor starter to disengage (trip).
