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.

Can you wire a 30 amp generator to a 2 wire well pump?

Yes, a well pump can be wired to a generator but to find out how well it will operate the pump's voltage and full load amperage must be stated.


What size wire for 50 amp 3 wire pump 350 feet?

This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question the voltage of the pump must be stated


Can you straight wire a sump pump to the breaker box?

Yes. Check local electric codes to see if a disconnect is required at the sump pump. One way is to wire a single 15A circuit to an outlet for sump pump. Then the disconnect is just to unplug the pump for service.


How do you calculate and find the size of wire rope?

wire rope has many other names such as wire,multi strand wire and flexible wire.to measure it with a diameter convert weigh by pounds per foot [b/f to kilometres per meter multiple that by 1.488 and to convert rope in minium breaking force in tons to kilo newtons multiply by 8.897 1lb =4.448 newtons and to convert rope in minimum breaking force in tons to kilo grams then multiply that by 907.2


How do you connect a 12v solar trickle charger to a 12v batter and 12v submersible pump and get this to work the pump has black white and green wires and the solar charger has black and red?

You first need to have a charge controller module that coordinates where the electricity goes. These are readily available through ebay from $20-$50 for a basic 12 volt input model. The charge controller has connectors for the red (+) and black (-)solar panel wire as well as the positive and negative wires that connect to your deep cycle 12 volt battery. Also off the charge controller there should be a "load" pair of connectors. The black wire can be directly run from the load line to the submersible pump. I would run the white wire thru a bus bar that houses an assorted range of fuses like are used in an automobile. A 10amp fuse should suffice for the submersible pump. Using a fuse you have a built in safety factor in case of a short. The green wire is probably just an additional ground and not really needed. The only other thing I could think of for the green wire is if it is connected to a float switch that would turn the pump on when water got to a certain level. Consult your schematic.

Explain the difference between a two wire submersible pump and a three wire submersible pump?

A three wire submersibleÊ pump has a separate control box that contain a startingÊ capacitor that is kept inside the house or a pump house unlike a two wire submersible pump where everything is builtÊ inside the pump. A separatedÊ control boxÊ makes it easierÊ for a pump to be repaired when a problem arise fromÊ the control boxÊ insteadÊ of pulling the whole pump from the well.

Does a 110 submersible well pump need a pump start?

If it's a '2 wire pump' the starter is inside it. That has black, red and ground wires. (yes I KNOW that's 3 wires, but it's called a 2 wire pump). If it is a '3 wire pump' and has black, red, yellow and ground then it needs a 'pump control box' (starter and o/l switch) somewhere near the pressure tank.
