  • Apparatus and method to provide run-dry protection to semi-positive and positive displacement pumps
    Publication number: 20020131866
    Abstract: Apparatus and method to provide run-dry protection to semi-positive and positive displacement pumps is disclosed, including a resettable fuse placed in line with the motor of said pump to interrupt the supply of electrical power to the pump in response to sensing a run-dry condition. The resettable fuse prohibits pump operation until manual resetting, which occurs only upon interrooting and re-applying electrical power to the resettable fuse.
