In a deep well turbine, where is the motor located in relation to the impeller?

In a deep well turbine, the motor is positioned below the impeller. This configuration is typical for turbine pumps, where the motor drives the impeller, which is located at a higher elevation within the pump assembly that is submerged in the water well.

This design allows for efficient operation of the pump, with the motor providing torque to turn the impeller, which in turn moves water from deep underground to the surface. Placing the motor below the impeller also helps to reduce the risk of motor damage from water exposure and ensures that the housing of the motor remains cool, as it is surrounded by cooler water rather than being exposed to air temperatures.

This arrangement is contrasted with other pump types, where the motor might be situated above or next to the impeller, changing the dynamic of water movement and potential applications for the pump.
