Possible lockout speed range
Calgary Pump Symposium 2013
• Operating Speed Range From a hydraulic standpoint, 30% of the operating speed can be
considered a reasonable operating speed range Greater than 30% should allow for lockout speeds
The predicted lockout speed will be defined in a +/-20% range; however, the actual lockout typically only requires a +/-5% speed range to be avoided.
Need to avoid sub-synchronous whirl (below ground instability) Typically 30%-50% of maximum design speed Critical for pumps with hard bearings
Need to avoid second critical frequency Issues typically occur on high speed pumps with TF style discharge heads
• Separation Margin Minimum of separation factor above and below the running speed range is
standard for the reed critical analysis +/- 20% separation for speeds 1200 rpm and greater +25% / -20% separation for speeds 900 rpm and less
This is not a guaranteed factor or operating speed range

Design Factors
Calgary Pump Symposium 2013
• Cast Heads have limited use for VFD applications.
Cast heads always have a system natural frequency below the operating speed (flexible system)
Better for higher RPM applications (1800-3600rpm)
Not much can be done to stiffen the system
• 100% of Operating Speed Range
Must have system natural frequency higher than the operating speed (rigid system)
Requires proper selection of the motor to even be physically possible

Cases To Avoid
