Design of Submersible Motor Design of Submersible Motor Submersible motor is used to drive the submersible pump. Submersible motor is also a squirrel cage type induction motor. Its principle and the general construction is similar to the squirrel cage type induction motor. It means there is laminated stator core and three phase winding in it and there is squirrel cage rotor. But as the whole motor is under water, special type of construction has to be employed. Mainly all the parts are made of the corrosion resistance type materials. Its diameter is less and the axial length is more. Instead of using the ordinary bearings the thrust bearings are used. There are two types of construction of the submersible motor. (1) Wet type submersible motor: This type of motor is completely filled with clean water or oil or emulsion of water and oil. (2) Dry type submersible motor: In this type of motor the stator winding is dry and...
