In certain cities specifically - and in many countries generally - any work on circuits carrying mains service voltages as high as 220V to 240V is considered to be unsafe to do unless you are a licensed electrician.
<><><>
Not only unsafe but also it is illegal in all states of Australia.

If you're asking this question you shouldn't be installing an electrical service.
This type of question usually means you aren't ready to do this yourself. Study some electrical training material and the National Electrical Code or call a professional electrician.
If someone were to give you a more detailed answer here, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or their life.
<><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power
at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work
AND
always use an electricians test meter having metal-tipped probes
(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How many amps are needed for a 220V well?
The amount of amperage needed for a 220V well will depend on the wattage of the well pump. To calculate the amperage, divide the wattage of the pump by the voltage (220V) to get the amperage required.
What is the diagram for converting a 4-wire 220V connection to a 3-wire 220V connection?
To convert a 4-wire 220V connection to a 3-wire 220V connection, you will need to remove the neutral wire and connect the ground wire to the neutral terminal. This diagram shows the proper wiring configuration for this conversion.
What is the recommended wire size for a 220v electrical circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 220v electrical circuit is typically 10-gauge wire.
What is the recommended wire size for a 220v 20 amp circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 220v 20 amp circuit is typically 12-gauge wire.
What is the recommended wire size for a 220v 30 amp circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 220v 30 amp circuit is typically 10 gauge wire.
What is the appropriate wire size for a 20 amp 220v circuit?
The appropriate wire size for a 20 amp 220v circuit is typically 12-gauge wire.
What is the appropriate wire size for a 220v 30 amp circuit?
The appropriate wire size for a 220v 30 amp circuit is typically 10 gauge wire.
What is The Voltage Of each wire in Straight 220V Circuit?
In a straight 220V circuit, each wire carries 220V potential difference with respect to ground. This means the voltage across each wire is 220V.
Can you wire a 30 amp generator to a 2 wire well pump?
Yes, a well pump can be wired to a generator but to find out how well it will operate the pump's voltage and full load amperage must be stated.
What is the recommended well pump wire size for efficient and safe operation of the pump system?
The recommended well pump wire size for efficient and safe operation of the pump system is typically 12-gauge wire. This size of wire is commonly used to ensure proper power supply and prevent overheating or damage to the pump.
What is the appropriate wire size for a 220V 20 amp circuit?
For a 220V 20 amp circuit, the appropriate wire size is typically 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper conductors.
Is the neutral wire on a 220v outlet the same as the ground?
No it is not
