Fire Pump Control Panel
Fire pump control panels for main, jockey and diesel-engine fire pumps, in fire-red enclosures with clear status indication.
- Pumps controlled
- Main, jockey and diesel-engine pumps
- Starters
- Star-delta for electric pumps
- Busbar
- Aluminium, e.g. 400 A
- Operating voltage
- 380 / 415 / 440 V AC, 3-phase, 4-wire
Overview
A fire pump panel controls the pumps that keep a building's fire-fighting system pressurised. It runs the jockey pump to hold pressure, starts the main pump when demand rises, and starts the diesel-engine pump if electric supply is unavailable.
We build fire pump panels to your pump schedule, with star-delta starters for the electric pumps and controls for the diesel engine.
Key features
- Star-delta starters for main and jockey pumps
- Diesel-engine pump controls (12 V)
- Automatic start on pressure-switch signal
- Pump status and fault indication
- Fire-red powder-coated enclosure
