Description
5 hp Kirloskar Borewell Submersible pump 6 inch dia upto 180 feet.
Key product features
1. Designed for 6-inch borewells (150 mm casing) — pump outer assembly and stage sizes made for 6″ installations; outlet (discharge) typically 50 mm (2″).
2. Head & flow capability — 5 HP 6″ models commonly deliver max head in the 80–110 m range (so 55 m / 180 ft is well within capability) and typical discharge ranges from ~200–400 LPM depending on the exact model and stage count. Check the pump performance curve for exact flow at 55–60 m head.
3. Water-filled / water-cooled motor design for longer life in submerged operation — keeps motor temperature down and suited for deep bore use.
4. Wide-voltage motor design — tolerates voltage fluctuations common in rural/irrigation supplies.
5. High-efficiency, energy-saving hydraulics — engineered impellers/stage design to give more output per kW.
6. Sand-fighter / abrasion-resistant design — internal designs and bearings to reduce damage from sand/silt ingress (but extreme sand still requires sand-handling pumps or filters).
7. Corrosion protection (CED coating / stainless components) — castings often CED coated; some models use stainless steel for shaft/critical parts to resist corrosion.
8. Copper windings, B-class insulation — for reliable electrical performance and thermal protection.
9. Dynamically balanced rotating parts — reduces vibration and extends life.
10. Thermal/overload & motor protection recommended — built-in protections vary; installer should provide starter, overload protection and phase failure protection for 3-phase motors. (Performance docs & sellers recommend proper starter/controls.)
Power: 5 HP (≈3.7 kW) — 3-phase, 415 V, 50 Hz.
Borewell size: 6″ (150 mm).
Outlet / pipe size: 50 mm (2″) (standard for many 6″ 5 HP models).
Number of stages: varies (8–16 or more) — stage count determines max head & flow.
Max head: ~80–110 m depending on model/version.
Match the pump curve to your required flow at 55–60 m head. Don’t just pick by HP — different stage counts change flow. Get the performance curve from the model you plan to buy.
Pipe size 2″ (50 mm) is common for the discharge of 6″ pumps, but if you want higher flow you may consider larger discharge/piping if the pump outlet supports it. Confirm outlet OD and recommended pipe schedule.
Sand content: if bore has sand/silt, add sand separators/filters or select a sand-handling variant; sand shortens pump
