When a submersible pump is assembled one of the most critical thing to get right is the electrical connection that will spend its life under water. Our specialist bore electrician Dave will get it right – 9246 0111.
Most submersible water bores in Perth have this underwater connection done using a heat shrink kit. The submersible motor has a factory installed “blue lead” which is connected to the electrical cable that will come all the way up from the pump to the bore head at the surface.
Crimping submersible bore electrical cable
Seen here is the factory lead first being crimped to the electrical cable and then the waterproof heat shrink kit is applied. These are a series of sleeves which are essentially shrunk over the cable joins provided a waterproof connection.

A separate stainless steel cable holds the weight of the submersible pump so
no stress is placed on this electrical joint. Sometimes in old submersible bores incorrectly joined electrical cables can be a source of trouble. Our bore electricians are well equipped to diagnose and repair any electrical
problem you may have with your bore or pump.

If your water bore is tripping the circuit breaker when turned on then there are a variety of possible causes. One of these is a fused motor. Ring us for free over-the-phone advice or book our specialist bore electrician to attend. We can certify it as fused if this is the case.
Perth Pump/Motor Fusion and insurance cover: Many household insurance policies covering Perth homes have fusion cover for fused electric motors (sometimes referred to as burnt out motors). This generally applies to bore pumps of both the centrifugal (old well liner style with tin lid) and the modern submersible water bores.
A common insurance definition for FUSION is “The actual burning out of an electric motor or its wiring caused by the electric current in it.” In the case of either centrifugal bore pumps or submersible bore pumps this refers to the electric motor that drives them. Various terms are used to describe the event of fusion. Some will refer to the pump motor as “burnt out” or “fused”. Some insurance policies refer to power surges. Additional insurance cover may be provided for lightning or storm damage to bore pump motors. Your bore pump motor replacement may be covered under you insurance.
