Water pumping system is an essential machinery for residential usage. Around 150 litres of water are used by a person in India daily for their daily usage. For this reason the water pumping is used regularly. Due to dynamic performance of the pumping unit pump can be operated in both no load and load condition. Though the pumping system was controlled by throttling drive in the early stage but in modern technological advancement time pumps are controlled by variable frequency drives (VFD). VFD provides the pump variable duty requirements with significant energy saving and improved reliability. In every pumping system due to dynamic forces of hydraulic and mechanical component some vibrations are seen but sometimes this vibrations may be excessive which can damage the components of the pump. The excessive vibrations indicate some problems or failures in the system. Power quality issues are one of those problems which are seen during the vibration of the pump motor and induction motor connected with pump. This paper presents the power quality issues in the pump motor in different control method like vvc+ and v/f control method. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
