Loss of Prime using SMVector drives

The loss of prime feature is used to protect the pump and motor from damage that could occur if the pump was operated without water to pump.  If a pump was to lose prime and continue to operate without water moving through the pump, the pump would develop heat, which would eventually damage the pump seal, motor, pipe manifold and related components. Loss of prime can be detected by the SMVector in pumping applications by mean of either a pressure switch or a transducer.
