Here's my situation. I live on a lake and there is a buried run of 12/2 with no ground running down to the lake. I need to tap into that 12/2 with no ground to extend to my pump. I tried this today with 12/2 with a ground but with no success, pump will not turn on. I tried making a ground by sticking wire into the ground to see if that would work but didn't, It only allowed me to read the voltages on the lines. For some reason i read 120V on the black and 90V on the white....does that seem right?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The pump is new and works when i plug it in my outlet in the garage. Any help on switching that from 230V to 115V? There are four terminals, 1 2 3 4. Terminals 2 and 3 have black wires coming out of the motor with a ground.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
