Specification

500/3 Heavy Duty W/GRND THW Submersible Pump Cable - Copper 600V

Allowable Ampacity:

• 380 Amps (based on NEC guidelines for THW conductors in wet locations)

Applications:

This submersible pump cable is designed for continuous submersion in deep wells, industrial water systems, and high-capacity municipal irrigation setups. It supplies power from the control panel to single-phase 230V submersible pumps and operates at 600 volts with a temperature rating of 60°C (140°F) in wet conditions.

Size 500/3 Usage: This well pump wire is suitable for 3-wire ultra-high-capacity deep well submersible pumps that require a control box. It provides separate conductors for the run and start windings, making it ideal for municipal water distribution, industrial water treatment plants, and large-scale agricultural irrigation systems. Commonly used for submersible pump motors up to 100 HP.
