A clamp-on ammeter allows you to measure the current in your submersible installation system without breaking the circuit. Amperage, obtained from measuring current, can tell you whether or not a motor is overloaded or underloaded.
To protect the life of your Franklin Electric motor, understand Service Factor. Motor Service Factor, or SF, is the percent of overloading a motor can handle for short periods of time when operating normally within the correct voltage requirements.
Capacitors, found in Franklin Electric single-phase control boxes, improve the performance of the motor. Rather than replacing the entire control box, consider checking the condition of the start and run capacitors with a capacitor tester.
Current is measured by an ammeter in amperage, or "amps." Amperage tells you how hard the pump and motor are working.
