MOTOR 
4-pole induction continuous rated motor with squirrel cage rotor. Bi-metallic 
switches (thermals) embedded in stator winding to protect against overheating. 
Stator insulation class 'H' (180ºC), 1.15 Service Factor. 
 
POWER SUPPLY 
3 phase, 60 Hz, AC Supply, 208, 230,460,575. Other voltages available upon 
request. 
 
BALL BEARINGS 
The rotor shaft is carried on a double row angular contact ball bearing which 
 carries the high thrust and radial loads. The Upper bearing is a roller bearing; 
 both bearings are enclosed with high temperature grease containing 
special Anti-corrosion additive. 
 
POWER CABLE 
Waterproof/oil proof, rubber-insulated, neoprene-sheathed copper conductor 
flexible cable, 50ft. (15m) length standard. Type SOOW in North America, 
EPR in the Middle East and HO7RN in the EU with Trailing cable for thermals 
and seal probe sensor. 
 
SHAFT SEALS 
Double Mechanical Seals, outer and inner are Silicon Carbide, both rotating and 
stationary faces. Equipped with Moisture Sensor to detect progressive seal wear. 
 
HYDRAULICS 
Two Vane Semi-Open Impellers, Hydrodynamically balanced with improved flow 
pattern contribute to a virtually clog-free pump. 
 
COOLING 
Motor casing with large surface area ensure efficient heat dissipation and low 
temperature rise. Shrink fitted stators and short shaft overhang facilitate cooling.
