🔌 2-Wire vs 3-Wire Submersible Pump Cable – What’s the Difference?

  • 2-Wire Submersible Pump Wire: Includes two power conductors + ground. The motor contains the capacitor and starting components.

  • 3-Wire Submersible Pump Wire: Includes three power conductors + ground. Requires a separate control box, typically used for higher horsepower pumps.

💡 We supply both types of cable with the correct insulation, conductor count, and performance specs.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I bury submersible pump wire directly underground?
A: Yes. Our cables are rated for direct burial and wet environments. Always follow NEC code and local regulations.

Q2: Do I need a 2-wire or 3-wire pump cable?
A: It depends on your pump motor. 2-wire pumps have built-in starters, while 3-wire pumps need an external control box.

Q3: What wire gauge should I use for a 1 HP submersible pump?
A: For a 1 HP pump at typical well depth, 12/2 or 12/3 cable is recommended. For longer runs, consider upsizing to 10 AWG.
