Abstract/Contents:Discusses potential causes of irrigation pump motor failure. Asserts that the "majority of motor burnout is caused primarily from unbalanced phasing at the motor itself." Lists "common causes of unbalanced phasing," including "line fuse opens"; "motor fuse opens"; and "magnetic motor starting contancts [that] don't...make contact with high resistance causing a low voltage situation." Reports that the "industry has phase protection on their electric motors," and suggests that "a pump house upgrade is well worth considering."
