For over twenty years our association with Priest Electric has and continues to be a great relationship. We appreciate the professional work performed, the products we have bought and the training and special service given by Lee and his staff.


Jerry Wilks, Round Mountain Gold, Round Mountain, Nevada.

We are very happy with the customer service, motors and the machine shop at Priest Electric. We get visits at least once a week to make sure all our needs are being addressed. We always get help locating motors or parts in rush situations. The machine shop at Priest Electric caters to us during machine break downs which is very much appreciated by us and our customers.
We thank Priest Electric for all they do for us.

We've tried the other guys in the past, and regretted it. Priest Electric always delivers above and beyond our expectations. They are top shelf in my book, and I'm happy to be working with them.

Pump Speed Changes

Pump curve, system curve data needed to determine change in pump speed:

Affinity laws state that a change in pump speed has a cubed effect on the required power. However, when pump speed is changed, the resulting operating point will likely move left or right on the curve, relative to the Best Efficiency Point (BEP). So actual required power may be significantly greater than or somewhat less than the cubed proportion.
Only with the pump curve and system curve data can change in the power required be determined for a change in pump speed.
