Abstract

A pump apparatus which can more accurately determine the occurrence of an abnormal vibration. The pump apparatus includes: a pump; an electric motor for driving the pump; an inverter as a speed changing means for the electric motor; a vibration detector for detecting at least one of a vibration of the pump, a vibration of the electric motor and a vibration of the inverter; and a controller for controlling the pump. The controller includes a storage unit for storing a measured vibration value measured by the vibration detector. The storage unit has a storage table which, when the rotational speed of the pump is increased stepwise to a predetermined rotational speed, stores the measured vibration value measured at each step.
