Select the Right Submersible Motor to Power Your Pumping System: How Different Designs Impact Operations
No pumping system is complete without the right motor. It not only drives the pump, but it also safely and reliably takes the static and dynamic loads from the hydraulic stresses of the entire system. No matter how many motors you have selected and serviced throughout your career, every pumping job is different. During this session, participants will take a closer look at the primary components that are part of a submersible motor design. We will look at how these components address different application requirements – including overall efficiency, reliability, and ability to repair or replace.


Unleashing Efficiency: Exploring the Potential of Permanent Magnet Motors in the Water Well Industry
As the water well industry seeks optimal solutions, permanent magnet motors have emerged as a promising choice. Their remarkable efficiency surpasses that of conventional induction motors, resulting in substantial energy savings and cost reduction. However, before choosing this motor for your next project, it is essential to consider certain factors. In this presentation, we will delve into the design aspects of permanent magnet motors, examine the necessary controls, and explore practical examples of cost savings. By doing so, we aim to shed light on the ideal applications where this innovative technology truly shines.
