Problem # 2

What is the practical and proper way to check motor rotation during a pump installation?

A) Visually inspect the discharge to make sure that adequate flow is coming out. After all, it won't pump anything if it is running backwards.

B) Check the amps to be sure that it matches the value on the pump nameplate.

C) Check the direction of the "start kick" to be sure that it matches the direction of the "start kick" arrow on the nameplate.

D) None of the above. It is not necessary to check rotation. The pump motor will only run in one direction.
