The range covers the flat S1BNH2-F halogen-free rubber cable for fresh and salt water to 300 m, Drincable 600 and 800 for potable water to 600 m or 800 m, and the ELCOSUB (N)TMH3S P2 with a TPU sheath for groundwater and seawater to 2000 m. Ratings are 0.6/1 kV and 0.6/2 kV, all with Class 5 tinned copper conductors.

Selection Guide

Submersible Pump Cable Selection Guide

Model comparison, operating conditions and RFQ checklist.

A submersible pump cable is a flexible power cable built to work permanently under water. It connects a submersible pump in a well, borehole, tank or flooded pit to the surface supply. It combines finely stranded tinned copper conductors, rubber insulation and a water-resistant outer sheath, and is selected by water type, immersion depth, rated voltage and flat or round shape.

Which submersible pump cable fits your water, depth and voltage?

  • Drinking water: the drinking water cable is stated for permanent immersion in potable water to 600 m or 800 m.
  • Wells and sewage: the flat S1BNH2-F is a halogen-free, low-smoke rubber cable for fresh and salt water to 300 m.
  • Dewatering, deep or saline water: the (N)TMH3S P2 has a polyurethane sheath and is stated for groundwater and seawater to 2000 m, but not for explosion-hazard areas or water with more than 0.5 mg/l of chlorine.
  • Voltage: 0.6/1 kV for the first two families, 0.6/2 kV for the (N)TMH3S P2.
  • Flat or round: flat cable needs less space beside the riser pipe; round cable seals more easily in a gland.

Which installation conditions decide the choice?

  • Tensile load: where a maximum tensile load is listed, compare it with the suspended cable weight; clamp long drops to the riser pipe.
  • Water chemistry: check warm, chlorinated or corrosive water against the product page limits.
  • Bending radius: flat types are specified by cable height, round types by overall diameter.
  • Fire behavior: surface runs through buildings or tunnels may call for a halogen-free, low-smoke sheath.
  • Voltage drop: on long drops, size the cross-section for motor-start voltage drop as well as current rating.

How to Choose Submersible Pump Cable

Four decisions specify the right cable the first time; send them with your RFQ and our engineers confirm the type designation.

1

Water Type and Chemistry

Potable, fresh, salt, sewage or groundwater; check warm, chlorinated or corrosive water against the product limits, such as 0.5 mg/l chlorine for (N)TMH3S P2.

2

Depth and Tensile Load

Match the stated depth (300, 600, 800 or 2000 m) and compare any listed maximum tensile load with the suspended cable weight; clamp long drops to the riser pipe.

3

Voltage and Cross-Section

0.6/1 kV or 0.6/2 kV to suit the supply; on long drops, size the cross-section for motor-start voltage drop as well as current rating.

4

Shape and Sheath

Flat for tight space beside the riser pipe, round for gland sealing, and a halogen-free, low-smoke sheath where surface runs pass through buildings or tunnels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about Submersible Pump Cable from our engineers.

01Which submersible pump cable fits my water, depth and voltage?

For drinking water, Drincable 600 and 800 are stated for permanent immersion in potable water to 600 m or 800 m. For wells and sewage, the flat S1BNH2-F halogen-free rubber cable covers fresh and salt water to 300 m. For dewatering, deep or saline water, the (N)TMH3S P2 with a polyurethane sheath is stated for groundwater and seawater to 2000 m. The first two are rated 0.6/1 kV, the (N)TMH3S P2 0.6/2 kV.

02Should I choose flat or round submersible pump cable?

Flat cable needs less space beside the riser pipe, while round cable seals more easily in a gland. S1BNH2-F is a flat cable, Drincable 800 is round and Drincable 600 is also available flat on request. Bending radius is specified by cable height for flat types, 3 × H up to 12 mm height and 4 × H above, and by overall diameter for round types.

03Which cable should I use for drinking water pumps?

Drincable 600 and 800 are designed for submersible pumps in potable water. Both have Class 5 tinned copper, EPR insulation and a light blue cross-linked sheath, reference EN 50525-2-21 (AD8) for water resistance and BS 6920 for non-metallic materials in contact with water, and are listed for water up to +80 °C. Request potable-water hygiene documents for the exact model at RFQ stage.

04Where can the (N)TMH3S P2 cable not be used?

The ELCOSUB (N)TMH3S P2 is not for explosion-hazard areas or for water containing more than 0.5 mg/l of chlorine, and corrosive water or water of other special compositions must be checked case by case. The permissible water temperature is 60 °C; at higher water temperatures a shortened service life is to be expected. It can be used indoors, outdoors and in industrial and agricultural plant.

05How do depth, tensile load and voltage drop affect cable selection?

Confirm the stated depth first: 300 m for S1BNH2-F, 600 or 800 m for Drincable and 2000 m for (N)TMH3S P2. Compare the suspended cable weight with any listed maximum tensile load, such as 15 N/mm² for S1BNH2-F, and clamp long drops to the riser pipe. On long drops, size the cross-section for motor-start voltage drop as well as current rating.

06What should I send with a submersible pump cable RFQ?

Send the water type, temperature and chemical content; the installation depth and total cable length; motor power, supply voltage and starting method; the number of cores, cross-section and pilot cores; flat or round construction; and the required standards and documents. Request current test and certification documents for the exact model at RFQ stage, including potable-water hygiene documents where applicable.
