AUTOMATIC FAULT PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR POWER RECOVERY CONTROL ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An adjustable speed pumping system includes a plurality of pumps respectively driven by variable speed A.C. motors each having power recovery circuit. Each power recovery circuit includes a series connected rectifier bridge, an inductive reactor and an inverter coupled to the secondary winding of the motor which has an A.C. source connected to the primary winding. A fault clearing mechanism is included in each circuit and includes solid state switches in the bridge actuated by a current level sensor coupled to the inverter output. The power recovery circuit also includes current foldback circuitry and secondary gating circuitry coupled to thyristors in the inverter. The power recovery circuits can be connected in parallel with a single motor and the system includes circuitry for sensing the highest amplitude current in the parallel circuits and controlling all circuits with this current. Each pump has a valve associated with the outlet and circuitry associated therewith to operate the pump at a low forward speed upon receipt of a stop command until the valve is closed to prevent significant reverse flow through the pump.
