First time in the WORLD: V-3 Submersible Pumps with water-filled Motor
- Published 11/10/2011
As on today, there are lots of bore-wells with 3”. Jet pumps are in used for such 3” bore-wells which are less efficient and the life cycle is very short which is expensive to the end user. As minimum size of electric driven submersible pumps available in market is suitable for 4” bore-well only, there is no benefit of submersible pumps for such 3” bore-wells. KIWI Pumps initiated for the solution of this problem. KIWI Pumps designed, developed the advanced engineering solution and introduced V-3 submersible pumps with water-filled motor for the first time in the WORLD. (15-April-2001)

Calculating Motor Speed:
A squirrel cage induction motor is a constant speed device. It cannot operate for any length of time at speeds below those shown on the nameplate without danger of burning out.
To Calculate the speed of a induction motor, apply this formula:
Srpm = 120 x F
P
Srpm = synchronous revolutions per
minute.
120 = constant
F = supply
frequency (in cycles/sec)
P = number of
motor winding poles
Example: What is the synchronous of a motor having 4 poles connected to a 60 hz power supply?
Srpm = 120 x F
P
Srpm
= 120 x 60

Srpm
= 7200

Calculating Braking Torque:
Full-load motor torque is calculated to determine
the required braking torque of a motor.
To Determine braking torque of a motor, apply
this formula:
T = 5252 x HP
rpm
T
= full-load motor torque (in lb-ft)
5252 = constant
(33,000 divided by 3.14 x 2 = 5252)
HP
= motor horsepower
rpm = speed of
motor shaft
Example: What is the braking torque of a 60 HP, 240V motor rotating at 1725 rpm?
T = 5252 x HP
rpm
T = 5252 x
60
1725
T = 315,120
1725
T = 182.7
