Default wiring for sumersible water pump

Hello all,

my question concerns the wiing setup for a single phase installation of
my 220V1.5HP water pump. It has four wires at the base. One of them
(yellow-green) marked PE (and connected to the chassis of the motor)
has been cut off and will noy be used. .

The other three (in order) which make the connection consist of a BROWN
wire with a white stripe (which the diagram shows as having some
connection to the next wire, probably through the capacitor) which is
a blue wire labelled "N" and a black wire labeled "N" as well, which
then turns into "L1".

I have two wires which bring the electricity. These two wires I connect
to the black and the blue. The two capacitor wires I connect to one of
these two as well as to the brown striped wire. I would like to know if
this is correct? This is the setup I've used before

Hope I've been coherant. thx.

sounds like you cut off the ground wire Its a essential safety device
espically around water and electric espically 240.....

Its purpose is...

If a internal wire shorts to the case the breaker will trip.

Otherwise the motors shell and anything in contact with it is
energized....

you have a hazard. why did you cut off the green wire?
