Submersible pumps work by protecting their motors from the liquid being pumped. Usually, the motors are placed in a water tight compartment filled with oil. Most motors used in submersible pumps are electric, either running on alternating current or direct current.
Advantages of Submersible Pumps:-
The advantages of a submersible pump are numerous. First, it has the advantage of being self-primed because the substance it is pumping, usually water and is right there at the pump itself. Further, the submersible pump may actually have to do less work than a standard pump simply because it is closer to the liquid being pumped.
