Single Phase Pump

Single-phase power is widely used in residential and commercial buildings,

where the electric socket power configuration is either a simple 120V or a split-
phase configuration with 120/240V. Since the power requirement of these
spaces is primarily to operate appliances under 1000 watts, single-phase power
is sufficient to cater to those needs.

Single-phase power has the most widespread availability, but despite that
advantage, it is not suitable for powering motors having a horsepower rating
greater than 5HP. That is because a single-phase motor draws a significantly
higher current than a three-phase motor of the same horsepower rating. And
owing to this larger current draw, the motor requires a significantly larger
winding which consequently increases the cost of the motor. Apart from the
higher capital investment, single-phase motors are also less efficient than their 3
phase counterparts, which further increases the operational costs. Furthermore, a
single-phase pump’s lifespan is also shorter compared to that of a three-phase
pump.

With so many restrictions, single-phase pumps are not useful for industrial
purposes where we need higher efficiency and higher discharge pressures. But
they are ideal for household applications since single-phase pumps do not
require a strong starting torque. Single-phase pumps are primarily used in cases
when the pump is going to be turned on and off multiple times in a day. Single-
phase pumps also find extensive usage in remote locations where electricity is
not easily available from the electrical grid. At such remote places, electricity is
generated primarily through off-grid solar panels.

Three Phase Pumps

Since three-phase power is primarily used for catering to high electrical

consumption, it is usually employed in commercial and industrial facilities.
Three-phase power is a smoother and more balanced power source that allows
low-cost motors and inexpensive operational costs. This relative consistency in
the supply of power results from three-phase power having three identical sine
waves overlapping each other. Each sine wave is evenly spaced from the other
and separated apart by 120° or 2π/3 radians.
Compared to a single-phase power supply, a three-phase supply can transmit
thrice the amount of power a single-phase power source can while using only
1.5 times the amount of conducting wires used. This efficiency of three-phase
power almost doubles the ratio of power capacity to conductor material used.
And this ratio allows for the use of smaller and less expensive wiring in a three-
phase pump.

A pump designed using a 3-phase power supply is relatively more

straightforward in design, more compact (small body size), and cheaper than a
pump operating on single-phase power. A three-phase pump requires a
comparatively higher starting torque, but if operated for a long time, it is more
efficient than a single-phase motor. Hence we use them for industrial
applications where a pump, once turned on, remains on for a long time. Due to
their simpler design and compact size, they also generate less vibration and
noise during operation. A three-phase pump has a longer lifespan than a single-
phase water pump if operated under the same conditions.

Electrical details:

Motor Sub Application: Open well submersible pump set

1ph: 1ph means the motor runs on single phase power supply.

220V: This is The maximum voltage applied across motor terminal. The voltage
should not be exceeded above 230Volts.

2800 RPM: RPM means Revolution Per Minute. It means a motor or a rotating

device that rotates 2800 times for one minutes. It says about the speed of the
motor-pump set. The high speed pumps produce higher water flow.

Frequency 50 Hz: The Input frequency of the power supply. The 50 Hz pump

cannot be operated on 60 Hz.
Duty S1: It means continues duty, the motor can be operated 24X7 without rest
throughout the year.

WET Type: Wet Type in Submersible pump means, the outer body of the
pump should have immersed in water. Because the main cooling agent of these
motors are water only since the motor and the bearing should be always filled
with the water.

Model No: NIO10.: It means each manufacture have their own design of
pumps.

KW/HP: 0.75/1: It means the motor consumption per hour.

Maximum Current:

It is the Maximum allowable current to the stator winding of the motor.

Rated Head: 21 M

 Here 21 Meter means, the pump delivers full output of rated discharge (1.4lbs)
for 21 M from the pump impeller center.

Rated Discharge: 1.4 Lps

The pump can deliver or discharge the maximum output of 1.4 liter in one
second.

Head range: 17- 22M: It means the minimum and maximum range of the pump
head

Delivery Size: 25 mm: The output from the pump can be taken by connecting
25mm size of the pipe

Connection CSR: CSR a type of terminal pipe connection which means the

threads will come on the pipe surface.
