Submersible Cables in Kenya
Submersible cables are special electrical cables used to supply power to submersible pumps installed in boreholes, wells, and underwater pumping systems. They are designed to operate safely underwater and are commonly used in borehole pumping, irrigation systems, and water supply systems across Kenya.
Submersible cables are waterproof electrical cables designed to carry electricity from the power source to a submersible pump installed underwater. These cables are insulated to prevent water damage and electrical leakage and are used in:
Flat cables are the most commonly used cables for borehole pumps
Best for:
Round cables are used in water and underground installations
Best for:
Copper conductor cables offer better conductivity and efficiency
Best for:
Aluminum cables are cheaper but less conductive than copper
Best for:
| Cable Size | Typical Price per Meter (KSh) | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5mm² | 120 – 180 | Small pumps |
| 2.5mm² | 180 – 250 | Small submersible pumps |
| 4mm² | 250 – 350 | Medium pumps |
| 6mm² | 350 – 500 | Borehole pumps |
| 10mm² | 600 – 850 | Large borehole pumps |
| 16mm² | 900 – 1,300 | High power pumps |
Prices vary depending on copper quality, insulation type, and supplier.
Pump horsepower determines cable size.
Deeper boreholes require thicker cables to reduce voltage drop.
Typical guide:
Always add extra cable length for connections and installation.
