The 1.5mm² 4-Core Flat Submersible Cable is specially designed for powering submersible pumps used in boreholes, deep wells and other wet environments.

Its flat profile makes it easier to route alongside a submersible pump and pipework, while the durable insulated construction is designed to withstand continuous exposure to water and demanding operating conditions. Solarvet lists this cable as 4C × 1.5mm², with a PVC core material and flat cable shape.

💧 Key Features

• 🔌 Cable Size: 1.5mm²
• ⚙️ Number of Cores: 4 Core
• 📐 Cable Shape: Flat
• 🧱 Core / Insulation Material: PVC
• 💧 Designed for submersible pump installations
• 🕳️ Suitable for boreholes and deep wells
• 🌊 Suitable for continuous wet environments
• 🛡️ Abrasion-resistant construction
• 🔥 Fire-retardant properties
• 🌡️ Designed to tolerate elevated operating temperatures
• ⚡ Good electrical conductivity
• 🧪 Chemically inert in water

🕳️ Designed for Submersible Pumps

Submersible pump cables operate in harsher conditions than standard electrical cables because much of the cable may remain underwater for extended periods.

This cable is designed for applications such as:

• 💧 Borehole pumps
• 🕳️ Deep-well pumps
• 🌾 Agricultural water systems
• 🚰 Domestic borehole installations
• 🌱 Irrigation systems
• 🏢 Commercial water pumping
• 💦 Water-transfer systems

🛡️ Durable Insulation

Submersible cable needs strong insulation because it is exposed to water, mechanical movement and friction during installation.

Important design characteristics include:

• 🛡️ Abrasion resistance
• 🔥 Fire-retardant construction
• 🌡️ Temperature resistance
• 💧 Water-resistant insulation
• ⚡ Reliable electrical conductivity
• 🧪 Materials that do not react with water.

✅ Benefits

• Designed specifically for underwater pump applications
• Flat profile for easier borehole installation
• Four-core configuration
• Durable PVC construction
• Resistant to wear and abrasion
• Suitable for long-term wet environments
• Appropriate for borehole and deep-well pumps
• Suitable for both fresh and salt water

⚠️ Installation Notes

• ⚡ Confirm 1.5mm² is suitable for the pump motor current and cable length
• 📏 Longer borehole cable runs may require a larger conductor size to control voltage drop
• 🔌 Use proper waterproof cable joints where extensions are necessary
• 🛡️ Protect the cable from sharp borehole edges and mechanical damage
• 🪢 Do not use the electrical cable to support the weight of the pump
• 🌍 Ensure correct earthing
• 🔧 Pump electrical connections should be completed by a qualified technician
