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


12 volt pump with red and black wire which is live?

The red wire is typically the live wire for a 12 volt system, while the black wire is the ground wire. Always consult the pump's manual or manufacturer specifications to confirm the correct wiring for your specific pump.


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 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.

How do you wire 120volt well water pump?

To wire a 120-volt well water pump, first ensure all power is off at the circuit breaker. Connect the pump's motor wires to the power supply wires: typically, the black wire from the pump connects to the black (hot) wire from the power supply, and the white wire connects to the white (neutral) wire. Use wire nuts to secure the connections and wrap them with electrical tape for insulation. Finally, ground the pump by connecting the green or bare copper wire to the grounding terminal.

What is the recommended well pump wire size for efficient and safe operation of the pump system?

The recommended well pump wire size for efficient and safe operation of the pump system is typically 12-gauge wire. This size of wire is commonly used to ensure proper power supply and prevent overheating or damage to the pump.


What is the recommended 4 wire well pump wiring diagram for proper installation and operation?

The recommended 4 wire well pump wiring diagram includes connecting the red and black wires to the power supply, the yellow wire to the pump start relay, and the green wire to the ground. This setup ensures proper installation and operation of the well pump.

Can the wire to your well pump be repaired if burned into below water line?

Yes it can be repaired. Depending how badly it's burnt, it may need to be replaced.


What is the correct wiring diagram for a 3 wire vs. 4 wire well pump system?

In a 3-wire well pump system, the pump motor is connected to three wires: one for power, one for ground, and one for the start capacitor. In a 4-wire system, an additional wire is used for the start capacitor. The correct wiring diagram will show how to connect these wires to the pump motor and power source for proper operation.


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.

What is the 3 wire well pump wiring diagram for installation and connection?

The 3-wire well pump wiring diagram for installation and connection involves connecting the pump motor to a control box with three wires: red, black, and yellow. The red wire is for the start capacitor, the black wire is for the run capacitor, and the yellow wire is for the common connection. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if needed for proper installation.

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.
