This research was carried out in Konya vicinity of Turkey. In general submersible irrigation pumping plants were tested. Total mass per pumping plant, flow rate, total dynamic head, specific draw-down of well, diving depth, actual performance (system efficiency), performance rating and specific total energy consumption were found to be 1,283.8 +/- 27.6 kg/unit, 41.1 +/- 1.0 L/s, 56.1 +/- 2.1 m, 0.25 +/- 0.02 m per L/s, 12.1 +/- 0.6 m, 52 +/- 1%, 78 +/- 1% and 2.93 +/- 0.10 MJ m(-3), respectively. According to Nebraska Performance Criteria (NPC), potential of energy saving rating was determined as 22% in all of the plants. In addition, the simple and useful regression equations for specific total energy consumption depending on motor power, flow rate and total dynamic head were obtained.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle381917N/AWOS:000254433800002N/A
