The cable is the power source for electric submersible pumps and represents the lifeline to a successful pumping application. Special care should always be practiced to ensure the power cable lasts and even though GPM-Eliminator pumps are built with heavy-duty industrial power cables, it is critically important to take precautionary measures to prevent damage to the outer jacket, insulation and especially the wire conductors. Whether it be during installation, operation or maintenance, cables are very susceptible to damage so check out these simple tips to ensure that you're not at the wrong end of cut cord and a failed pump!
Failure to practice these tips could result in a pump failure or worse...such as electrical shock, arc-flash/blast events and possible fires caused by overheating. To keep your pump running longer, and to keep your team and operation safe, take the extra time to ensure that your submersible pump power cable is properly secured and protected AT ALL TIMES!
