An electric motor for a pump includes an AC line-in node for receiving AC power supplied to the electric motor. The electric motor includes a current sensor coupled to the AC line-in node and measures current supplied to the electric motor. The electric motor includes a motor controller configured to convert the AC power supplied to a variable frequency variable voltage power for driving the electric motor at a normal output value. The motor controller includes a microcontroller and an inverter. The microcontroller is coupled to the current sensor and receives a measured value of the current supplied to the electric motor, determines the measured value is above a threshold, and transmits a control signal representing a reduced output value. The inverter receives the control signal and generates the variable frequency variable voltage power to reduce output from the electric motor according to the reduced output value.

Systems and methods for regulating electric motor output

A motor controller for a pump motor is provided. The motor controller includes an input device and a memory configured to store a plurality of actuation sequences and a plurality of commands. Each actuation sequence is associated with a command. The motor controller further includes a processor coupled to the input device, the memory, and the pump motor. The processor is configured to detect at the input device, a first actuation sequence in response to the input device being actuated. The processor is further configured to perform a lookup in the memory to determine a first command corresponding to the first actuation sequence. The processor is further configured to operate the pump motor according to the first command.

Systems and methods for a pump having an onboard user interface

A drive circuit for an electric pump motor is provided. The drive circuit includes an inverter and a contactor. The inverter is configured to supply variable frequency current to the electric motor. The contactor is configured to supply the line frequency current to the electric motor.
