Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the specifications and features of the 3”WPS® and 3”WPS®-CP pumps, designed for domestic applications such as water supply, irrigation, and pressure boosting. These pumps are suitable for intermittent operation and are constructed entirely of stainless steel, fitting in 3” or larger drilled wells.
Specifications: Both pump models offer capacities from 0.2 to 7m³/h with a maximum head of 190m. They are equipped with motors rated up to 1.5kW, 140Hz, requiring a single-phase supply. Features include dry-running protection, high efficiency, soft start, and protections against overvoltage, undervoltage, overload, and overtemperature.
3”WPS®-CP Features: This model includes a constant pressure controller with a variable speed drive, allowing for two set pressures. It features flow detection and a pressure sensor, capable of variable speed operation. The controller converts single-phase supply to three-phase current for the motor, ensuring constant pressure through variable speed.
Protection Mechanisms: The pumps have dry-running protection, stopping the pump if flow drops below a minimum value. Overvoltage and undervoltage protection ensure safe voltage operation. Overload protection stops the pump if current exceeds the maximum allowed, and overtemperature protection cuts out the pump if fluid temperature exceeds limits.
Performance and Efficiency: Designed for high efficiency and wear resistance, the pumps feature stainless steel construction and high-performance seals and bearings. They offer excellent starting capabilities with integrated soft start features, minimizing wear and preventing supply overload during start-up.
Applications and Limitations: Suitable for pumping thin, clean, non-aggressive, and non-explosive liquids, with a sand content up to 150 g/m³. The maximum fluid temperature is 30°C; for higher temperatures, consultation with Well Pumps is advised.
Technical Data: Includes detailed performance curves, selection charts, and dimensions for various pump models, providing information on maximum pump power, flow rates, head, and full load current. It also outlines cable selection guidelines based on motor power and cable size.
Specifications: Detailed specifications for various models of 3''WPS® submersible pumps include power ratings (P2), current (In), and maximum cable lengths for different cable sections (AWG/mm2). Materials used for pump components are primarily stainless steel AISI 304, and NBR for certain parts.
Procedures: Outlines procedures for selecting the appropriate submersible drop cable based on motor power and cable length, adhering to a 3% voltage drop as per IEC 60364:2001 standards. Advises on using extra filters if cable length exceeds 100m to prevent motor damage.
Standards: References IEC 60364:2001 for voltage drop calculations and KTW approval for drinking water applications, ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards.
Recommendations: Includes using cooling shrouds for installations in tanks or large wells to ensure adequate motor cooling, and installing RFI Power Line Filters to mitigate radio frequency interference. Suggests using wire clamps and straining wires for secure pump installation.
Accessories: Lists various accessories, including submersible cables, cable joint kits, wire clamps, filters, and cooling shrouds. Each accessory is described with its material, dimensions, and reference numbers for ordering.
Key Data from Tables: Tables provide maximum cable lengths for different motor sizes and cable sections, material specifications for pump components, and flow requirements for motor cooling. They also list accessories with their specifications and reference numbers.

3”WPS® and 3”WPS®-CP pumps are suitable for domestic applications in intermittent operation: • Domestic water supply • Small waterworks • Irrigation • Tank applications • Pressure boosting • Sampling of monitoring wells Note: For other applications, please contact Well Pumps. 3”WPS®-CP 3”WPS®-CP pumps offer the following features: • Pump entirely made out of stainless steel and fits in 3” or larger drilled wells • Constant pressure with two set pressures possible • Capacity from 0.2 to 7m³/h and a maximum head of 190m • Motor rating up to 1,5kW, 140Hz • Single phase supply to the controller • Incorporated jam free check valve • Dry-running protection • High efficiency of pump and motor • Excellent resistance to wear • Soft start • Overvoltage and undervoltage protection • Overload protection • Overtemperature protection. • Variable speed • Second set-pressure possible The 3”WPS®-CP pump is fitted with a three phase 230V Well Pumps motor. The 3”WPS®-CP controller needs a single-phase supply and transforms it to a three-phase current to the motor. The controller is equipped with a frequency drive and performs a constant pressure of the flow through a variable speed of the pump. As a consequence, the pump can be set to operate in any duty point in the range between the pump min. and max. performance curves. In case of a pump fault, an alarm will be indicated on the LCD screen of the 3”WPS®-CP controller. The 3”WPS®-CP pump is sold as a kit and consists of the following elements: • A 3” submersible pump WPS® entirely made of stainless steel. • A WPS® high speed submersible motor able to run at variable frequencies up to 140Hz. • A WPS®-CP constant pressure controller including a variable speed drive, a flow detection and a

Features and benefits Dry-running protection 3”WPS® and 3”WPS®-CP pumps are protected against dry running. The 3”WPS®-CP controller is equipped with a flow sensor that at all times measures the pumped flow. As soon as this flow drops under a minimum value (Qmin is about 0,1m³/h), the pump will be stopped. Simultaneously, also the absorbed power of the motor is measured. A minimum value of this power ensures cut-out of the pump. Both these measurements ensure in case of lack of water in the borehole, a shutdown of the pump and thus preventing a burnout of the motor. The 3”WPS® motor includes a...

Overtemperature protection The electronic unit of the 3”WPS® and 3”WPS®-CP controller has a built-in temperature sensor. The 3”WPS®-CP controller will cut out the pump when the temperature of the fluid rises over its limit of 55°C. The error code ‘Inverter Error’ will be mentioned on the display of the 3”WPS®-CP controller. When the temperature has dropped to 45°C, the motor is automatically restarted. The 3”WPS® motor will reduce the speed as soon as the internal temperature in the motor reaches 80°C. This way the absorbed amps and consequently the dissipated heat of the motor will be reduced....
