Avoiding Possible Problems in Submersible Motors

Submersible motors have been used in municipal water systems for years. There are plenty of advantages associated with these motors—they are immune to many of the environmental factors that commonly affect hollow shaft motors, and they do not require the drive shaft and bearing systems seen in conventional line shaft turbines. That being said, submersible motors are still susceptible to different types of problems. These motors rely on water as an internal lubricator. While the motors are extremely reliable when used within their design limitations, there are plenty of situations in which they are used in applications that accidentally exceed... View Article
