Our pump is out, as in not filling our tank. Our well is 400ft deep, With a pump at 325ft. The pump is 2 wire, Just power, Pressure switch, and pump. I measured the voltage coming in from utility and got 237 - 245 volts.
I measure the voltage going into the pump wires and get the same.
I disconnect and measure the resitance of L1 to L2 on the pump and get full continuity.
I measure resitance from L1 to ground and get nothing, Same for L2.
I measure amperage with the clamp meter on L1 and get 0, Same for L2.
The pump is not blowing the double pole 30A fuses.
It just not turning on.
The strange thing, Is it has done this before, It will go out, Stay off for 3 - 8 hours and then suddenly decide it wants to work again, Usually once I finally get a hold of someone who might be able to help.
I have called pump people left and right, And can not get one of the 10 plus pump people out here any sooner that weds. I will die if I have to smell un bathed kids for 5 days!!!
Anyone who can help, I will give my oldest bathed childs hand for marriage.
***EDIT***
Someone mentioned the pressure tank settings might be important, The pressure tank is a straight tank, No bladder, And the pressure is set to 40/60.
