The Wacker Neuson Motor Protector is a genuine OEM component designed for the PS3 2203 submersible pump. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the same specifications as the original installed at the factory, ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation. It is a direct replacement for the PS3 2203 running at 440V/60Hz, 3HP, 4.7A, making it the right choice when servicing that specific pump configuration.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Spec Protection: — Calibrated to the exact electrical ratings of the PS3 2203 motor, ensuring the protector trips accurately under fault conditions — not too early, not too late.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to fit the PS3 2203 submersible pump's motor housing without any modification to wiring or mounting points.
- Verified Fitment: — Confirmed for the PS3 2203 Submersible Pump (440V/60Hz, 3HP, 4.7A) — cross-reference part number 5000176963 before ordering.
- Motor Defense: — Shields the pump motor from overload, overheating, and excessive current draw that can cause irreversible winding damage if left unprotected.
- Electrical Safety Compliance: — A correctly rated motor protector is a critical electrical safety component; using an improperly rated substitute on a 440V pump creates real shock and fire risk.
A motor protector monitors the electrical current flowing through the pump motor and automatically interrupts power if the motor draws more current than it is rated to handle — a condition caused by overloading, blocked impellers, dry running, or voltage irregularities. On a submersible pump like the PS3 2203, where the motor operates in a submerged environment and is not easily accessible mid-job, this protection is especially critical. When the protector fails or is bypassed, the motor windings are exposed to sustained overcurrent, which leads to heat buildup, insulation breakdown, and eventual motor burnout.
