A method is provided for controlling a pump driven by a motor with the motor connected to a drive. The method can include determining a parameter value related to a fault condition, comparing the parameter value to a threshold value, and adjusting a speed control of the drive based on the comparison of the determined parameter to the threshold value.

Method of controlling a pump and motor

A variable frequency drive system and a method of controlling a pump driven by a motor with the pump in fluid communication with a fluid system is provided. The method includes monitoring a pressure in the fluid system, monitoring and adjusting an operating frequency of the motor to maintain the pressure at a pressure set point, and, based on the monitored operating frequency, causing the pump to temporarily boost the pressure in the fluid system to a temporary boost set point for a first time period. The method also includes determining whether the temporarily boosted pressure in the fluid system stays above the pressure set point for a second time period and causing the pump to enter a sleep mode when the temporarily boosted pressure stays above the pressure set point through the second time period.
