Abstract
A system and method for controlling a pumps configured to pump fluid from a fluid supply to a frac iron configuration. A pressure schedule is defined, the pressure schedule including a pumps assigned to sets of pumps, wherein each set of pumps is associated with a pressure level and wherein each set of pumps except a first set of pumps is a subset of a previous set of pumps. The first set of pumps is enabled to pump fluid continuously until the fluid in the manifold has reached a predetermined pressure level. A processor then automatically disables the electric pumps that are not in the next set of electric pumps, while allowing the next set of pumps to continue to pump fluid until the fluid in the manifold has reached the next pressure level. This continues until the manifold is at the desired pressure.
