In the design specifications, for example, the water pump requirement is two. What does that mean? Can 3 pumps be opened at once?
Use 2 units and reserve 1 units. You can open 2 at the same time. Can three drive at the same time, depending on your water pipe layout, whether there are three sets of pipes, yes, three units open at the same time.
May not。Design is in accordance with the "two prepared" design, opened two units, has been able to meet the water supply requirements. And the electrical control parts are in accordance with the opening of two units, has been unable to meet the opening of 3 power distribution needs. The standby pump is only replaced when the running pump is out of order or needs downtime to maintain the water supply.
May not。1, the system is designed according to 2+1, 1 standby, only redundant backup of important equipment, not included in the running load.2, higher power distribution only provides 2 (maximum operating conditions) equipment rated operating power capacity (slightly margin, but limited).3, a single 160KW motor rated current is about 300A, 185 cable can only be used for the 1 pumps (with 2 units, and has overload) 630A circuit breaker is the frame level, if the current setting value is 630, it should be the main power switch (single pump with 400A circuit breaker, setting a value of 315 or 350A).4, if the 630A as the main switch to provide 2 pump power, has been close to full load (third pumps can not be added).5, water pipeline system, although not what caused the problem, but the water flow rate, flow rate of 2 pump operation should be in the ideal range, adding third pumps (the premise is to ensure the power supply) will make the water flow velocity is too large, in non ideal conditions.Conclusion: this method is inadvisable. If necessary, modify the original system, change to 3+1 mode, and change the line and circuit.
