Included: the motor with its lead; lead length per model is in the Models table.
Pump end required, ordered separately: a Baker pump end of the same horsepower with a NEMA 8 in motor bracket.
Motor control: Three-phase motors need a starter kit or drive. Overload protection must be provided by the user.
Drop cable and splice kit: sized to your setting depth and ordered separately.
Baker’s 8 in asynchronous two-pole submersible motors run from 40 to 150 HP. They are the rewindable type: the copper, PVC-insulated stator sits in an AISI 304 stainless steel outer shell, with painted cast iron supports and an 8 in NEMA shaft end.
A Kingsbury-type thrust bearing with graphite tilting pads and a ceramic disc carries the load, and a ceramic and carbon mechanical seal closes the motor. Overload protection must be provided by the user.
Covered for 3 years from the date of manufacture under A.Y. McDonald’s published terms for Baker submersible motors. The terms add a 5-year term from the date of manufacture for Baker submersible motors, including assembled pumps with pump ends up to 25 GPM, in potable water applications.
One motor per pump end, matched by horsepower. Need more head or flow later? Pair a larger pump end with the matching larger motor: Baker 8 in motors run from 40 to 150 HP in this listing, all on the same NEMA 8 in flange.
