A 1.1 kW pump control is an electronic device that manages the operation of a pump with a motor rated at 1.1 kW. It essentially acts as an automated on-off switch, ensuring the pump functions only when necessary. Here’s a breakdown of its typical functionalities:

Automatic Start/Stop: The controller automatically turns on the pump when it detects a pressure drop in the system, indicating demand for water. Conversely, it switches the pump off when pressure reaches a predetermined level, signifying sufficient water flow.
Pressure Regulation: By monitoring and adjusting the pump’s operation, the controller maintains consistent water pressure within the system. This is crucial for applications like irrigation or water supply in buildings.
Protection Features: Many pump controllers incorporate safety features to safeguard the pump and prevent potential damage. These may include overload protection to prevent the motor from burning out due to excessive current and dry run protection to shut off the pump if it operates without water, which could lead to overheating.
