Chris lives in Gosnells and his modern submersible water bore 2 horsepower 3 phase motor was tripping.
We sent in our specialist bore electrician Dave to test the motor and it tested fusion.
As you can see the bore head has a large gate valve so it took a bit of digging and mucking around.
Adam then returned and replaced the 1.5 KW 3 phase motor, wet-end and cable.
Dave then returned and fitted new junction box. He ran and tested and all OK
Thanks so much to Chris for the following review. We are a family run and have been in the business for nearly 20 years and love to look after our customers,
Mel asked us to look at the modern submersible water bore at his son’s house south of the river in Leeming.
Leeming submersible water bore
We sent our specialist bore electrician Dave to do a range of tests to work out the problem. He tested the single phase two wire submersible motor and found it was fused. The motor start winding is damaged by rupture of internal capacitor.
In some cases a fused motor can be claimed on the householders insurance.
Our service teams will return to replace the motor so the householders bore and reticulation will be up and running.

FYI (source Wikipedia)
Tapping is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Wanneroo. It came into being in the early 1990s as a subdivision of Wanneroo, originally as part of the Carramar estate. Tapping was chosen as the suburb name in honour of an early settler family in the Wanneroo area. Mr William Tapping arrived in 1886 and Molly and Dolly Tapping were long time Postmistresses in Wanneroo. The name for the suburb was approved in 1997.
Dave our specialist bore electrician attended a job in Queens Park where it was reported the centrifugal pump for an old well wasn’t working.
The single phase Davey Boremaster tested OK so he replaced the 30 mf capacitor for new and the water bore is working again.
However he did note on his report that there were distinct mechanical sounds and he was not sure how long the pump would last before it fails mechanically.

One of our recent bore repair jobs was a centrifugal pump motor tripping the circuit breaker in the backyard of this property in Yangebup. You can see the rusted and partially collapsed tin lid of the bore well in this picture.

Pump failed mechanically
The 3 phase pump and motor had failed mechanically and was just humming. The pump had not fused and was fine electrically but need replacement.
We returned and supplied and installed a 2.2 kW 3 phase centrifugal pump and fittings.
