The water pump is a machine that conveys liquid or makes the liquid pressurized. The motor in the water pump uses mechanical energy to increase the energy of the liquid, so the core of the water pump is the motor. According to the application environment water pumps are divided into industrial water pumps (380V) and domestic water pumps (220V), common water pumps classification includes: shielded pumps, self-priming pumps, centrifugal pumps, deep well pumps, submersible pumps, sewage pumps, pipeline pumps, refrigeration pumps and so on.
The structure of the water pump motor mainly includes a stator, rotor, and complete motor, so the test of the water pump motor includes four modules: stator test, rotor test, complete motor test, and water pump safety test.

A water pump motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive a water pump. Water pump motors can be categorized into AC motors and DC motors based on the type of input power source. AC motors use alternating current (AC) as input while DC motors use direct current (DC) as input.
A pump motor works by using electromagnetic induction or a commutator to create a rotating magnetic field that rotates the impeller or plunger of the pump to transfer liquid. An AC motor generates a rotating magnetic field by changing the direction of the alternating current (AC) in a coil, while a DC motor generates a rotating magnetic field by changing the direction of the direct current (DC) in a coil using a commutator.
Water pump motors can be categorized into the following types based on the type and construction of the pump:
■ Centrifugal water pump motors
■ Positive displacement pump motors
■ Axial flow water pump motors:
Water pump motors can be either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC), depending on what kind of input power and drive they use. Generally speaking, alternating current (AC) pump motors are more common than direct current (DC) pump motors because AC power is easier to obtain and control, and AC drives are simpler and less expensive.1 However, direct current (DC) pump motors have their advantages and needs for special applications, such as solar-powered, remote-control, and variable-speed adjustments.
A compressor is a device that compresses a gas or vapor from low pressure to high pressure, while a pump is a device that pushes a liquid from low pressure to high pressure.4 Compressors and pumps can both be driven by different types of actuators, such as electric motors, internal combustion engines, and steam turbines. The main differences between compressors and pumps are the state and nature of the media they handle, and their principles of operation and construction.
