INVESTIGATION OF THE AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCESS OF THE STANDBY PUMP

In industrial enterprises, especially in mining, dewatering, and technological processes, the continuous operation of pumping equipment is of critical importance. Failure of a pump unit can lead to the interruption of technological processes, reduced production efficiency, and significant economic losses. Therefore, the implementation of an automatic start-up system for a standby pump is considered one of the urgent and relevant engineering tasks. This article investigates the operating principle of the automatic standby pump start-up system, including its control algorithm, technical solutions, and its impact on overall system reliability. The study results demonstrate that the application of an automatic control system significantly improves the reliability of the pumping station, prevents emergency situations, and minimizes the negative influence of the human factor.
