Since the operation of the electric water pump is inseparable from electricity, and the power supply is often cut off at the scene of a fire accident or the power supply is automatically closed due to a fire. Even if we are equipped with a dual power supply switching device, it is really impossible to ensure that the power grid must be normal when the fire alarm signal comes.

The diesel engine fire pump is usually used as a backup facility, so it will only start automatically when the fire signal comes, and when the electric water pump fails or the power supply is cut off. When it has an ultra-low pressure start-up device, the matching electric water pump control cabinet should also have an ultra-low-pressure start-up device, and the lower limit of the two pumps should have a certain pressure difference. Of course, according to customer requirements, design a control system that is more suitable for customer needs.
