Description
Overview
This 6 inch water-filled submersible borehole motor delivers 5.5 kW from a 380 V three-phase supply and turns the pump end at the bottom of your borehole. It comes with 6 m of motor lead, so all you need to do is join your drop cable to it. The windings run in water, and a water-filled motor can usually be rewound if it burns out, which normally costs less than buying a new unit.
The motor is rated to 35 bar and is matched to the SP17-10, SP30-5, SP30-6 and SP60-03 pump ends.

Where it works
Most of these motors go in as replacements on irrigation boreholes in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, where a winding has gone after a dry run or a lightning strike. They also suit stock water schemes, municipal supply boreholes and mine water duty.
Fit a 30Y intelligent pump controller (the 5.5 to 15 kW model) for dry-run and overload protection. Always match the motor kW and voltage to the pump end and your supply. If you are not sure, send us your pump model and we will confirm the match. Browse our full range of borehole pumps and motors. Need more power for a bigger pump end? Look at the 7.5 kW 380 V motor or the 9.2 kW 380 V motor.

Questions about this product
Which pump ends does this 5.5 kW motor fit?
It is matched to the SP17-10, SP30-5, SP30-6 and SP60-03 pump ends. Always match the motor kW and voltage to your pump end and supply. If your pump is not on the list, send us the model and we will tell you before you order.
Do I need a controller with this motor?
Yes, you should fit one. A 30Y intelligent pump controller covers 5.5 to 15 kW and gives dry-run and overload protection, which is what saves a motor on a borehole that can run dry. Starters and controllers are not included with the motor.
Can a burnt water-filled motor be rewound?
Usually, yes. Water-filled motors can normally be rewound if they burn out, which tends to be cheaper than replacing the motor. A winder will check your unit and tell you whether it is worth repairing.
How much is delivery to Rustenburg?
At about 46 kg this motor falls in the 30 to 60 kg band, so delivery is R950 for the order, or free once your order reaches R20,000 (VAT incl.). We deliver to Rustenburg from Polokwane in 1 to 3 days.
