Q: What causes cavitation?
A: Cavitation occurs when water changes its state from vapour to water at low pressure.
Q: What causes cavitation?
A: Cavitation occurs when water boils at 100°C and changes its state from water to vapour at normal atmospheric pressure.
Q: What causes cavitation?
A: Cavitation occurs when water flows through a pipe and a valve is closed quickly at a low atmospheric pressure
Q: Which of the following items are built-in in some motors and can stop the motor if it exceeds a preset temperature:
A: Temperature sensors
Q: Which of the following items are built-in in some motors and can stop the motor if it exceeds a preset temperature:

Q: Identify the true statement.
A: In deep-well pumps, you should check whether the pressure gauge is installed directly at the pump discharge.
Q: Identify the true statement.
A: Online monitoring equipment does not check if a parameter has changed or exceeded a preset limit.
Q: Identify the true statement.
A: If all the parameters are recorded immediately after the pump has been installed, you can use them as benchmark against future data.
