What is a submersible pump?

A submersible pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP)) is a device which has
a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole
assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. 

What is pump protection?

A pump protection device is an electronic unit or device designed to interrupt

the power supply to the submersible pump drive motor when the device
detects a fault.

What Is Under voltage? How Can I Protect My Equipment?

Under voltage occurs when the average voltage of a three-phase power system
drops below intended levels, and is sometimes referred to as a brown-out.
Electromechanical devices, including three phase motors and pumps, are
designed to be operated at very specific voltage levels. If these devices are
allowed to operate at reduced voltage levels they will draw higher currents.
The increase in current causes increased heat in the winding and coils of the
equipment damaging the critical insulation protecting them. Operating in
Under voltage conditions can drastically reduce the life of the
electromechanical equipment and lead to premature failure.

Under voltage conditions are usually caused by undersized or overloaded

utility and facility transformers. During peak demand periods and/or when the
utility is experiencing problems, the demand for power exceeds the capability
of the transformer and as a result the voltage drops. These conditions can
occur without warning and provide no obvious indications. To protect motors
and equipment, use a three-phase monitor relay, also known as a phase failure
relay, as a cost-effective solution to prevent costly damage from undervoltage.

THE INVENTION

The alarm device comprises a main controller, a flow sensor, a liquid level
sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, an alarm and a power switch.
The flow sensor, the liquid level sensor, the temperature sensor, the alarm and
the power switch are connected with the main controller respectively. The
alarm device has the advantages of being simple in structure, convenient to
use, low in false alarm rate and capable of interrupting the power supply of the
submersible pump timely and protecting equipment and human safety.

Further, described alarm switch is communicated by wireless network with

main controller.
