OK, got the pump and a hundred feet of pipe in the hole and am at the point I need to crimp in the spool of extra wire. So I decided to give the Chinese control box a look and need to verify my wiring based on the diagram provided in the box. There's a 110v plug wired to the box, which I am ignoring. I'll junk that.
The hundred feet of double jacketed wire that came with the pump is brown, blue, black and yellow/green in that order. The hundred fifty feet spool of loose Flotec single jacket wire is red, black, yellow and green.
Since I will run this off a generator, I included an L14-30 plug in the first diagram to show it wired to the control box. I need verification that this box is properly routed for 220v. The view of the L14-30 is from the back of the plug if that makes any difference.
Also, what am I to do with the neutral from the power source. Is that basically a dead leg to be discarded and left out?
If the first diagram is correct, I color coded how I think the Flotec wiring should be spliced between the factory pump wiring and the control box to maintain the proper color designations. I'd like an OK on that too. That's the second diagram.
I've included pics of the box as well. Now to see just how bad I blew it. Thanks for all your help.
