Description
Overview
This 5.5 kW, 380 V oil-filled 6-inch borehole motor is the submersible drive unit that sits below a multistage pump end and turns it. It is supplied with 6 m of motor lead and is rated to 25 bar. The sealed oil-filled design keeps the windings isolated from the borehole water. It is a sensible choice where the water is aggressive, sandy or untested, and it is what you will find on many existing installations.
380 V three-phase is the standard farm and municipal supply in South Africa, so this motor connects to ordinary three-phase infrastructure. It suits these pump ends: SP17-10, SP30-5, SP30-6, SP60-03. Always match the motor power (kW) and voltage to your pump end and power supply. Not sure? Contact us with your pump model.
Fit a 30Y (5.5 to 15 kW) intelligent pump controller for dry-run and overload protection.

Where it works
A motor this size lifts domestic and stock water on farms in Limpopo and North West, fills header tanks, and supplies lodges, schools and rural water schemes that need steady daily volume rather than big flow. If you are replacing a failed 5.5 kW unit or building up a new set, a 6 inch oil filled borehole motor 5.5kw like this one keeps the job simple: pump end, motor, drop cable and starter, all sized together.
What’s in the box
- 6-inch oil-filled submersible borehole motor, 5.5 kW 380 V
- 6 m motor lead
The pump end, starter or controller and drop cable are not included.

Questions about this product
Which pump ends does this 5.5 kW motor fit?
It is listed for these pump ends: SP17-10, SP30-5, SP30-6, SP60-03. Always check the motor power and voltage against your pump end and supply. If your pump is not on the list, send us the model and we will confirm before you order.
Do I need a controller for this motor?
A controller is strongly advised. Use a 30Y (5.5 to 15 kW) intelligent pump controller for dry-run and overload protection. It protects the motor if the borehole drops or the pump runs dry, which is the usual way submersible motors are lost.
Do you deliver this motor to Mahikeng?
Yes. Kamano delivers with its own trucks from Polokwane to Mahikeng and Johannesburg in 1 to 3 days. This motor ships at about 48 kg, which falls in the 30 to 60 kg, R950 band. Orders of R20,000 or more are delivered free.
Why choose an oil-filled motor over a water-filled one?
An oil-filled motor is sealed, so the windings never sit in borehole water. Many installers pick it for tricky or untested water. A water-filled motor lets borehole water fill the housing and can usually be rewound. Both do the same job, so choose to suit your borehole and budget.
