recently had submersible well motor failure and motor was replaced with what was supposed to have been the same type motor. However the new motor is a 5 hp single phase 230 volt. The line voltage is 208 volts. I understand I will need to install a buck boost transformer to make this work - however well has been working for 11 years on 208 volts, I am told no motors at 5hp are made at 208, -- where 208 volt motors made in the past? I can not belive that motor would have lasted 11 years with the kind of amp draw I am seeing now.
Any thoughts
