Water & Pumping
WICAB's primary niche - specialised winding wires for submersible motors and pumps with "ZERO" water absorption and high-voltage capability for large-scale water management.
Winding Wire for the Water & Pumping Industry
Water and pumping is a primary niche for WICAB Engineering. Our winding wires are specifically engineered for the unique demands of submersible motors and pumps - where moisture infiltration is not just a performance risk but a reliability catastrophe.
Applications
Submersible Motors
The REC, EPB, and PE2/PP series winding wires are purpose-built for underwater operation. Their advanced polymer insulation achieves “ZERO” water absorption - ensuring that dielectric strength is fully maintained even after prolonged continuous immersion. These wires are the preferred choice for:
- Submersible borewell and water well pump motors
- Agricultural irrigation pump sets operating in potable and non-potable water
- Municipal water supply and distribution infrastructure
- Flood control and drainage pump systems
The insulation on these wires remains dimensionally stable and chemically unchanged in the presence of water, preventing the gradual breakdown that leads to premature motor failure.
High-Capacity Pumps
The High Voltage (Integrated Insulation) series is specifically developed for high-capacity submersible motors used in large-scale water management. These motors - found in major municipal water treatment plants, large-scale irrigation schemes, and industrial process water systems - demand winding wire that can:
- Withstand elevated operating voltages without partial discharge
- Sustain continuous high-current duty cycles with minimal thermal degradation
- Maintain insulation integrity across the wide temperature swings typical of large pump motors
