The invention relates to an electric centrifugal pump. The electric centrifugal pump comprises a water pump housing, a water sealing bearing, a water pump impeller, a spring washer, a motor inner cover, a bearing seat, a rotor front bearing, a motor stator, a motor rotor, a motor rotor shaft, a motor rotor rear bearing, a pilot impeller, a pilot impeller cover, a water pump driving control panel,a controller cover and a motor shell, and an internal forced cooling system is formed by a water pump inlet cavity, an axis through hole of the motor rotor shaft, the pilot impeller, a pilot wheel cavity of the pilot impeller, a spiral overflowing hole of the motor inner cover, a rotor cavity, a spiral overflowing hole of the bearing seat and water pump impeller which are sequentially communicated. The electric centrifugal pump is simple in structure and ingenious in design, the flow loss of water flow is reduced, the cooling effect of the internal cooling system is improved, the heat load problem of the electric centrifugal pump is well solved, and the working reliability of the electric centrifugal pump is improved.
