How to choose a motor for a pump

The pump motor operates under special conditions - moisture, round-the-clock operation, sometimes frequent starts. Let's look at how to choose a motor for a pump correctly.

Key parameters

  • Power - in terms of performance and pressure of the pump with a reserve.
  • Revolutions - must correspond to the pump (often 2900 rpm for centrifugal ones).
  • Degree of protection - not lower than IP55 due to moisture.
  • Mounting version—for pump design (feet or flange).

Special requirements

ConditionRequirement
High humidityIP55–IP66, moisture resistant insulation
24-hour operationReliable bearings, cooling
Frequent startsSoft start or frequency drive
Submersible pumpsSpecial sealed motors

Frequent errors

  • Reduced degree of protection - breakdown from moisture.
  • Mismatch of speed - the pump does not reach the operating mode.
  • Lack of protection against phase loss.

Pump motors are especially susceptible to breakdown of insulation from moisture, therefore when rewinding uses moisture-resistant impregnation. consultation with a specialist will help you choose the best option.
