dry-run protection is a control that stops a pump when water needed for cooling and hydraulic lubrication is absent.

What does dry-run protection mean in practice?

It may respond to a level probe, motor current, pressure drop, no flow or a combination of signals.

When does it matter?

A poorly selected method may miss slow level decline or trip during normal operating changes.

Which solutions are related to it?

Match it to the pump and well, test it under controlled water loss and set a safe restart delay.
