Pump peculiarities with the electrics

239 x 2.97 = 710 volt-amps.

The power factor is about 0.92 (651 ÷ 710), which matches the label.

Note: Power factor is Cosine on label. The power triangle is a triangle where the hypotenuse is the apparent power and the sides are the real power and the reactive power. The cosine of the angle is the ratio of the real power divided by the apparent power.

The capacitor is listed as 12 uF. You can test the capacitance of the capacitor to make sure that it's correct.

The frequency is listed as 50 hz. Is that what you have?

Can you access the shaft from the back?

 

[Kes]

Yes, 50 hz. I'm not sure about accessing the shaft from the rear.

Can you show a picture of the back?

It looks like a TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) motor, which usually has a hole in the back cover where you can insert a screwdriver or Allen wrench to hold or rotate the shaft.

Look in the back hole with a flashlight to see what tool will work in the shaft.

Insert tool and rotate to feel for excessive resistance.

Make sure that the power is off at the breaker before doing this.
