I have a hydraulic pump being driven by a 75KW electric motor. I want to regulate the power output of the pump to 65KW. Please could someone explain how this can be achieved. Thank you

The output of the pump will be in psi's.There should be a pressure regulator on the pump with an adjustment screw.Screwing it in increases psi and out decreases psi.

well normally on a hydrualic pump you have a "relief valve". This is adjustable to suit the needs of the application of the hydraulic pump. For instance say if it was a tailift on a vehicle and you needed to lift 1500kg and it would only lift 1000kgs yo could adjust the relief valve so this could be possible. the same could probqbly be done with what you have. The motor would still pump out the 75kw but by turning the relief valve down, you could set the pump to 65kw. By doing this too, it would reduce the chances of blow off on the relevant hoses in the circuit due to the reduction of pressure. only adjust the relief valve though when there is no pressure in the circuit or false settingsa may occur

Easy, just press the big red button marked "Regulate Power Output to 65KW",
