Power: 150 HP
Phase: 3-Phase
Product Description
The Franklin 8-inch 150 HP 3-Phase Motor is a high-performance, submersible electric motor engineered for demanding deep-well pumping, water supply, and industrial applications. Manufactured by Franklin Electric – a global leader in submersible motor technology – this motor delivers reliable, efficient, and continuous operation in the most challenging environments.
Designed to be directly coupled to submersible pumps, the Franklin 8" 150 HP motor is ideal for high-volume water extraction, municipal water supply, agricultural irrigation, mining dewatering, and industrial fluid transfer. Built for immersion and long-term submersion, this motor offers exceptional durability, thermal protection, and energy efficiency.
Key Features:
High Power Output: 150 HP capacity for moving large volumes of water from deep wells and boreholes with consistent, reliable performance.
8-Inch Diameter: Standard submersible motor size compatible with 8-inch and larger pump bowls and well casings.
3-Phase Design: Provides smooth operation, higher starting torque, and greater efficiency compared to single-phase motors – ideal for heavy-duty continuous use.
Water-Filled or Oil-Filled Construction: (Verify per your specific model) – Franklin motors are typically water-filled or oil-filled for optimal heat dissipation and bearing lubrication.
Superior Thermal Protection: Built-in temperature sensors and overload protection to prevent motor damage from overheating or excessive load conditions.
Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Stainless steel shell, bronze or engineered polymer components, and corrosion-resistant fasteners for long life in aggressive water conditions (sand, silt, minerals).
Franklin Quality & Reliability: Backed by decades of engineering excellence, rigorous testing, and global field support.
Applications:
Deep-well water extraction for municipal water supply
Large-scale agricultural irrigation (center pivot and drip systems)
Industrial water supply and process water transfer
Mining dewatering and quarry operations
Groundwater remediation and environmental projects
Offshore and marine water supply systems
High-rise building water boosting (with appropriate pump configuration)
