It is probably clogged up and overheating so its safety cutout shuts down the power until it cools down enough to switch on again. To fix it, it will have to be disconnected and taken out of the well so that the pump chamber, the impeller and all associated pipes can be cleaned. This needs to be done regularly, depending on the condition of the water. If the pump was working a fountain in an outside pond a good time to clean it would be when it is taken out of the pond for the winter. If your weather is warm enough to leave the pump in the pond all year round it should still be taken out and cleaned regularly.

When a well pump comes on and off very quickly, it is a short cycle. In this situation, we could probably define the cycle to be the time from the moment the pump comes on until the moment it comes on a second time. To time it, get a clock with a sweep second hand. Watch the clock and listen to the pump. When the pump comes on, note where the second hand is. Keep watching and listening. When the pump shuts off, keep watching and listening. When the pump comes on again, note where the second hand is. That's how many seconds are in the cycle. If the second hand made it all the way around the clock once, then the time will be one minute and "x" seconds per cycle. See how it works? Very simple, once you think it through.

How can a fuse prevent short circuits?

If too many charges flow (aka, short circuit) through the thin, metal conductor inside of the fuse, it melts, thereby making the circuit open and protecting the components from the effects of the short circuit. In your situation, the moment the short is created, the metal heats up very quickly. Since this metal has a very low melting point, any sudden, unexpected heat generated will melt the fuse, thus preventing the short from truly forming for an substantial amount of time


What is the major source of energy that powers the movement of water throughout the environment?

The main source of energy in the water cycle is the sun/Solar radiation (sunlight).the source of energy that drives the water cycle is the sun because since the sun's heat makes the water evaporate which will led to the whole process of the water cycle and the process will keep on repeating.The water cycle or hydrologic cycle is driven by both short wave radiation from the sun, and long wave (infrared) radiation from the earth.
