TPM-A Motor Starter Videos

Before choosing TPM-A

Use this video to understand the TPM-A three-phase DOL starter and its dry-run delay setting. Match the panel variant to the motor nameplate and supply before ordering.

Check TPM-A specifications and buying options.

Questions before choosing

Which pumps are a good fit for TPM-A?

TPM-A is a three-phase DOL starter panel for compatible borewell, openwell or monoblock pumps up to 10 HP. It brings DOL starting, an auto switch, cyclic timing and configurable motor protection into the panel. Choose the matching three-phase motor variant and use the product details to confirm the required control package.

How do I choose the TPM-A HP variant?

The listed TPM-A options are up to 2, 3, 5, 7.5 or 10 HP. Matching the option to the motor nameplate helps the installer select the correct wiring and current settings. Use the nameplate, operating current and three-phase supply details when reviewing the available variants.

How should the TPM-A dry-run delay be set?

Use the supplied TPM-A guide to choose the protection values for the connected motor. The guide states that 000 seconds bypasses dry-run protection, so it is a bypass setting rather than an immediate-trip setting. Have the installer configure the threshold and delay for the actual pump and check the resulting operation.

How is TPM-A dry-run response matched to my pump?

TPM-A dry-run response depends on the configured threshold and trip delay. These settings allow the protection setup to reflect the motor’s operating current and installation. Have the installer set and check the values using the TPM-A instructions and actual pump operation.

Fault-code guide

How do TPM-A’s timer functions serve different pumping jobs?

The Cyclic Timer provides repeated ON/OFF intervals, and the auto-off timer ends a run after its selected duration. The power-on start delay provides a separate wait after supply returns. Decide which job you need, then configure the operating mode and timings for that plan.

Timer types explained

When should I choose TPM-A for time-based pumping?

TPM-A suits a three-phase DOL installation that needs timed automatic operation and motor protection. Its timed functions are useful where tank level is managed separately. If automatic filling should follow tank demand, compare the water-level-control models alongside TPM-A.

How does TPM-A handle phase-related conditions?

TPM-A includes phase-loss prevention and phase-sequence detection for its three-phase application. An SPP indication directs attention to the supply and phase arrangement before operation can resume. Have those conditions checked; the guide explains that SPP is not cleared by a manual reset while the condition remains.

How can TPM-A’s operating information help with service?

TPM-A provides a fault display, fault counter and run-time counter. Recording those readings with the model and operating circumstances gives a useful service reference. Use the displayed fault guide to plan the relevant checks and have recurring faults diagnosed before another restart.

How can I maintain a TPM-A service-hours record?

TPM-A’s total running hours stay saved across days and power cuts. Comparing valid readings for the same motor and counter shows the hours accumulated between service visits. Record the date, reading and work done, and start a new baseline after a motor, panel or counter change.

Running-hours service record

What should a TPM-A installation and handover include?

Have a qualified electrician match the HP variant, DOL contactor wiring, phase sequence and current settings to the motor. Set and check the protection and timer values using the supplied TPM-A guide. Keep the model diagram and agreed settings with the panel for clear future operation and service.
