Multiple-function pumping device for fountains, ornamental fountains and the like

Abstract

Multiple-function pumping device (1), in particular for fountains, ornamental fountains and the like, comprising a pump (P) for supplying at least one jet, an electric motor (2) with a stator (3) and a rotor (4) for driving the pump (P), means (6) for electrically connecting the motor (2) to a mains voltage power supply line. The stator (3) is provided with an excitation winding (5). The device (1) according to the invention is characterized in that the stator (3) comprises means (7) for powering external lighting means (8) with low voltage. Preferably, the low-voltage powering means (7) consist of an electric transformer (9) having as a primary circuit the excitation winding (5) of the motor (2) and comprising a secondary circuit (10) which is also wound around the stator (2).
