Help with Well wiring
How do I wire a 110v float switch to a 220v pump? Its a 220 v 1/2 hp
Franklin motor on the pump. I have a 400 ft run on #14 wire to the float switch. Where on the pump controler do I wire in the float switch? Or what is the simplest way to use this float switch with this pump? |

I would purchase a relay and use the float switch to control the relay coil and run the power through the main contacts. -- Blattus Slafaly ? 3 7/8 I agree, I don't think I'd want 800 feet of #14 breaking one of the legs to the pump |

Totally agree about using a relay also. I would use a 240-24 volt
transformer and a 24 volt contactor. With 24 volt, there would be less of a shock hazard and you could use pretty much any kind of wire between the float switch and relay-- thermostat wire, even telephone wire (use the kind with 4 wires and tie wires together so you have a pair of two wires paired together.
