How do you wire a 220V well pump?

Answer 1

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.
