Submersible Pump Cabling
Submersible Pump Cabling
(OP)
We have submersible pumps with 28" lead wires. The problem is that we do not have drop cables for them.
I would like to know what type of cable would be suitable for submersible applications? Can I use a TECK cable?
Are there splice kits for a 3 core cable to 3 x 1C wires?

NEC 501.140 B 6 stipulates continuous length (no splices) although A 3 allows extension beyond the wet pit.

I'm just wondering why such is not available on the standard 3M catalog and the 3M agent took such information from 3M manufacturing with some caution...and this is available from a hardware store?

I would expect you to be able to get them at Sears. In the right places possibly even at 7-eleven..

Realize that there are two types of submersible-pump cables—for water applications but also for crude-oil pumping.
