Product Description

The FRANKLIN ELECTRIC 2150000000 is a 4-inch Super Stainless submersible motor rated at 0.5 horsepower and 115 volts single-phase. It is engineered for continuous-duty groundwater pumping in residential and light commercial water well systems. The motor body is constructed from 304 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in submerged environments. Running at 3450 RPM with a service factor of 1.6, it delivers reliable overload capacity for demanding pump applications. Licensed plumbers, well drillers, and pump service contractors are the primary installers of this motor.

This motor is designed for use in 4-inch diameter or larger drilled water wells. It is well-suited for residential potable water supply systems and light commercial groundwater applications where a dependable submersible motor is required. The 3-wire wiring configuration requires a compatible above-ground control box for proper starting and operation, making it a standard choice for new installations and motor replacements in conventional pump systems.
