Electric Motors - Submersible Motors

A submersible motor is an electric motor which can operate while being submerged in water. This sealed motor is typically found in use on pumps. Both sump pumps and water wells use a submersible motor to power the pumping mechanism used in the system. Due to the submersion in water, it is critical that all electrical connections be made watertight to prevent damage to the motor as well as to anyone working on the unit.
