Techniques are provided for protecting a rotary positive displacement pump. The techniques include apparatus featuring a signal processor configured to receive signaling containing information about power, torque, speed, viscosity and specific gravity related to the operation of a pump; and determine whether to enter an enhanced pump protection mode for the rotary positive displacement pump based at least partly on a relationship between an actual corrected tune ratio and a tuned ratio set point (Tune Ratio SP). The signal processor may determine if the actual corrected tune ratio is less than or equal to the actual corrected tune ratio set point (Tune Ratio SP), and if so, then to enter the enhanced pump protection mode, else to continue to use a basic pump protection mode, and may also determine the actual corrected tune ratio based at least partly on a ratio of an actual corrected power (PAcorr) divided by a tuned corrected power (PTcorr) at a specific operating speed |
