wiring for sumersible water pump

Aug 15, 2006 2 Replies

Hello all,



my question concerns the wiing setup for a single phase installation of my 220V1.5HP water pump. It has four wires at the base. One of them (yellow-green) marked PE (and connected to the chassis of the motor) has been cut off and will noy be used. .



The other three (in order) which make the connection consist of a BROWN wire with a white stripe (which the diagram shows as having some connection to the next wire, probably through the capacitor) which is a blue wire labelled "N" and a black wire labeled "N" as well, which then turns into "L1".



I have two wires which bring the electricity. These two wires I connect to the black and the blue. The two capacitor wires I connect to one of these two as well as to the brown striped wire. I would like to know if this is correct? This is the setup I've used before



Hope I've been coherant. thx.



sounds like you cut off the ground wire:( Its a essential safety device espically around water and electric espically 240.....

Its purpose is...

If a internal wire shorts to the case the breaker will trip.

Otherwise the motors shell and anything in contact with it is energized....

you have a hazard. why did you cut off the green wire?

It came that way. Or the person i bought it from cut it off.
