Ultra Whisper 400-600
During start up, the current of the Feed Water Pump Alternating Current Ele
ctric Motor surges to “Locked Rotor”
or “Starting Amps” amperage for a fraction of a second after which the Electric Motor begins to rotate. After the
Electric Motor achieves full RPM rotation the current drops to normal running load. This process will take less than
1/2 second.
Therefore, the maximum surge current that the power source must be able to deliver equals the Feed Water Pump
Electric Motor starting amperage listed in the Specification Chapter of this manual. If the AC Power Source (AC
Generator or Dock Power) is insufficient the Ultra Whisper Electric Motor will not gain the full RPM speed needed
for it to switch to running amperage mode, will consume “starting amps” amperage continually, and will either trip
the power source circuit breaker or overheat and short out. Similar results will occur if the Frequency (Hz or Cycles)
drop below the minimum requirement, which will occur from a weak AC Generator that slows down when a load is
applied to it. This is an installation problem (insufficient power supply), it is not an Ultra Whisper problem.
Direct Current Powered Systems:
During start up, the current of the Feed Water Pump Direct Current Electric Motor draws high amperage for a
fraction of a second after which the Electric Motor begins to rotate. After the Electric Motor achieves full RPM
rotation the current drops to normal running load. This process will take less than 1/2 second.
Therefore, the battery bank power source must be fully charged and of sufficient amperage storage capacity to
provide and maintain the full voltage (12 VDC or 24 VDC as appropriate) at the instant of starting the Feed Water
Pump Electric Motor. If the battery bank power is insufficient the Ultra Whisper electronic circuit may “drop out”
due to power loss before the Electric Motor even begins to rotate. This is an installation problem (insufficient power
supply), it is not an Ultra Whisper problem. Low DC voltage to the Feed Pump electric motor will also be caused by
insufficient diameter power cables connected from the b
attery bank, through the boat’s circuit breaker, and on to
the Ultra Whisper controller.
Power Source Requirements:
Check line voltage and frequency to ensure that it agrees with the system nameplate. Grounding and circuit
protection should be done in accordance with National Electrical Code. See connection diagram on nameplate of
motor or refer to the diagrams within this manual.
