What are some requirements for a two-pump motor circuit?

What will be an ideal response?


The requirements for a two-pump motor circuit include:
1. The pump motors are operated by a 480 volt three-phase system, but the control circuit must operate on a 120-volt supply.
2. Each pump motor contains a separate overload protector. If one pump overloads, it must not prevent operation of the second pump.
3. A manual ON-OFF switch can be used to control power to the circuit.
4. A pressure switch mounted on the tank controls the operation of the pump motors. When the pressure of the tank drops to a certain level, one of the pumps will be started. When the tank has been filled with water, the pressure switch will turn the pump off. When the pressure of the tank drops low enough again, the other pump will be started and run until the pressure switch is satisfied. Each time the pressure drops to a low enough level, the alternate pump motor will be used.
5. An override switch can be used to select the operation of a particular pump, or to permit the circuit to operate automatically.
