Default 220 volt to 110 volt

Why should he be converting the pump motor to 120V, when by all
indication he has a 240V circuit with neutral and ground


*What* indications?

I see *nothing* in the original post that indicates the presence of a neutral.
The fact that he's using the circuit to run a 240V motor strongly suggests
that there is *not* a neutral, as 240V motors neither need nor use a neutral
and thus are typically wired without one.
