Start Fail. The fire pump does not start. Troubleshooting

Greetings! Today our fire pump does not start; the “Start Fail” signal is displayed on the motor controller. The Reset button does not reset the error.

We open the starter panel, open the fire pump start-up and operation circuit, and look for the “Start Fail” signal. The motor controller produces this signal in many cases.

The autotransformer was flooded with sea water. Emergency fire pump problem

Today we got low insulation of 440V on the main switchboard megohmmeter when starting the emergency fire pump. Checking the power part of the circuit showed an insulation resistance relative to the electric motor housing of 0 MOhm. Has the motor burned out or is there a chance to restore normal operation of the mechanism?

Checking the power part of the circuit (main contactor and autotransformer) with a portable megohmmeter showed 0 MOhm. Have to climb into the pump shaft and measure the insulation resistance of the electric motor at the terminal box with disconnecting of the power cable.
