The Grundfos SQE 3-55 N is a 3" multi-stage submersible pump designed for domestic water supply, liquid transfer in tanks, irrigation, and environmental applications. It features “floating” impellers, each supported by a tungsten carbide/ceramic bearing for durability and long service life. The pump provides soft starting and integrated protection against dry-running, upthrust, overvoltage, undervoltage, overload, and overtemperature.
The motor is a single-phase permanent magnet rotor type (MSE3-N), ensuring high efficiency across a wide load range. It is fitted with a replaceable end cover with socket and supports variable-speed operation when paired with CU300 or CU301 controllers.
