During the installation of a well pump submersible cables will be required to complete the project. The style of wiring that is used can depend on the location of the pump device. There are multiple wire designs that can be implemented include PVC flat, PVC round, Rubber flat, Rubber round, AWG and drincable.
PVC 3 core flat and PVC 4 flat styles are used in environments that have pumps that are submerged in deep well situations. They are comprised of 3 and 4 wires depending on the model. These styles of wiring are designed to be implanted into very hostile areas. Since the areas are so dangerous additional precautions are taken during manufacturing to ensure protection against grease, moisture, abrasion, and oil permitting for a long flex life.
PVC 3 core round and PVC 4 core round wires are designed for areas that have a lot of sewage and other acidic qualities. They are available in 3 and 4 wires depending on the connection requirements of the pump unit. This style of cable is often used in dewatering pump applications. The design also provides protection against abrasion, acidic fluids and chemicals.
Designed for pumps that resided at a depth of 500 meters are the 3 and 4 rubber core flat models. They are also constructed to resist abrasions, oil and other harmful chemicals they may encounter. Built with heavy duty thermoplastic rubber this wiring has excellent insulation properties. Having the extra added protection also protects against the constantly moving environment.
Similar to the flat models the 3 and 4 rubber round models prevent tears and cuts that can occur during the life cycle of the wiring. This wiring is impact, weather and chemically resistant. This model offers a competent alternative to the flat model for situations that require a round wiring instead.
The two kinds of AWG that are used consist of PVC and Rubber materials. The PVC model has the same qualities as others of its type. The added properties for this model are that it has excellent electrical properties and can is capable of passing up to 600 volts through it. This makes the model ideal for deep well pumps. The rubber version of this model also can handle 600 volts of electricity. This model is more ideal for use in fresh or saltwater deeply submersed pumps.
The drincable is designed for drinking water supply areas. The model incorporates the same qualities as other models and is made of non toxic material and has the appearance of vulcanized rubber in its design. The insulation that is used water resistant EPDM base rubber and the sheath is constructed of black heavy duty EPDM base rubber providing protection against abrasions.
