Hi there,
So I've got a well that's about 90 feet deep and has a 1 hp pump installed which is currently only connected to the control box which a red and black wire coming out from L1 and L2 which from the schematic looks like they go to the relay from a pressure switch with the pressure tank that's not installed yet.
I'm needing water this weekend for a project and am wondering how to wire it up. Clearly with the way it's set up now, my well guy was able to run it to get the flow rate and water samples but I haven't heard back from him on how to wire this up so thought I'd reach out here.
I've got a NEMA L14-20P plug that will fit my generator but it also needs a common and ground from the looks of it, which aren't present. I'm assuming both the red and black are 120v each to supply power to the pump but would it be safe to run if I wired them to the plug as is? The yellow line that's on the red/black isn't connected at either end.
I can wire it all together but don't know as much as I'd like about electricity.
Any help would be very appreciated!
