There are two types of water pumps, submersible and fixed position. Each pump is wired differently from one another.

Use the discussion page to state what type of pump you are talking about.

You don't. The voltage from a three phase four wire 480 volt system would be too high. 277 volts on a single phase 220 volt pump would shorten the life of the pump considerable. If the pump is three phase, which was not stated, then a transformer would have to be purchased to to step down the 480 volts to the pumps operational voltage of 220 volts.

How many amps are needed for a 220V well?

It depends on the motor. The motor determines the amperage. Should be written on the well pump itself.


Converting a pump motor from 110 to 220v 2 hot leads and a ground is there any use for the neutral?

we dont need a neutral because we had a 2 hot leads


You have an old Gould 2hp elect motor that you want to switch from 230v to 110v The existing connections do not match directions in earlier question and suggested 110v connections differ from mtr diag?

2 HP, A-C Single phase, 115/230 volt motor. And you wish to operate it on 115V. First the circuit size would need to be a min. of 30amp/ #10wire.... Being a Gould is this a pump/motor? I ask because single phase pump motor are not reversible, so they have less leads to connect..Is the motor thermaly protected (check name plate) Again less leads to connect if not therm-protected. How many lead motor is it, and what are the leads #. If it is 4 leads and # t1,t2,t3,t4 connect line1 to t1 and t3 connect line2 to t2 and t4. Let me know what the # are and how many leads their are.. I would not operate a motor that large on 115V, (1HP is about max on 115V)


How do you convert a 4 wire water well pump to a 2 wire?

It sounds like you have a three phase motor that you are trying to put in where you have a single phase 120volt motor. You can purchase a three phase inverter, but the cost will exceed the cost of the new motor sized for the right wiring and voltage.

How do you wire a pump start relay for 220 volts?

Assuming that your pump start relay is a contactor with overload protection and a 220 volt coil. Connect the incoming 220V to the connection points on the top of the contactor. Connect the pump motor to the bottom contactor connection points. From the right incoming voltage connection point take a # 14 wire, in flexable conduit, to one of the N.C. (normally closed) terminals in the pressure switch. The pressure switch which should be connected into the water line at this time on the pressure side of the pump. From the opposite N.C. terminal in the pressure switch take another # 14 wire, in the same flexable conduit, to one side of 220V contactor coil. At this point, (1) if overload contacts are available, take a # 14 wire from the other side of the 220V contactor coil to one side of the N.C. contacts in the overload block. From the opposite side of the N.C. contact in the overload block take a # 14 wire up to the left side of the incoming 220V connection point. If there is no overload block, as some motors have internal overload protection, (2) take a # 14 wire from the other side of the 220V contactor coil directly to the left side of the incoming 220V connection point. As you can see the circuit is all series connections from voltage supply to pressure switch, to overloads, to return voltage supply. With the pressure switch contacts closed and the overload contacts NOT tripped the pump will start. When pressure reaches the set point the switch will open and the pump will shut off.


Will using a generator to power a 220v three quarter hp Aermotor submersible well pump damage the pump?

No, as long as the generator has sufficient KW for the pump's requirements. A 3/4 hp, 220V motor draws around 5 to 6 amps. That's 1.1 to 1.3 KW, but because motors have high starting current, your generator should be rated for at least twice that, preferably 3 times. I would recommend a 3.6KW 220V generator to be safe.


How do you connect pressure tank to well pump?

Downstream of the pump.


How do you connect the heater bypass valve to the water pump?

It depends on what kind of car and engine you have. Some don't connect to the water pump but to the radiator.

Do you need a neutral in your 3 phase disconnect to pump control?

Not usually, if the three phase pump is a three wire pump then the disconnect does not need a neutral. The pump control may or may not need a neutral depending on the voltage system that the control panel needs.


How does a lymphedema pump work?

A lymphedema pump is used to remove excess fluid from an injured or affected limb. The pump returns the fluid to the cardiovascular system. Treatment is done in two phases: the preparatory phase, or manual drainage and the drainage phase, which the pump is used for.

How do you change the water pump on a 1996 Nissan 200sx se?

drain the radiator, disconnect the radiator hose from the water pump. disconnect the water pump. lay down the seal connect the new water pump. connect the hose back to the radiator. its pretty easy
