300 foot well, small use filling cistern. Power in to pumpsaver, 2009 Franklin unit, big box and a 1.5 hp Franklin deluxe control box. CSCR and mechanical relay and reset button. 2007
Off for the winter. Went to start up and pump kicked in and ran 5 seconds, reset blew. Started again and drew 9.8 amps for 5 seconds, pump ran and water moved. overload tripped [NOT at the pumpsaver but at the control box] Reset again and at start drew 44 amps. blew overload. Reset, started normally 9.8 amps, and then jumped fast to 44 amps. repeat about the same. Ran one time for 30 seconds at 9.8 amps and then up to 44 and trip. Never saw this before. Start cap okay. no leak to ground in 3 drop wires.
Dayton pump very low hours, clean water. What do you Sherlocks have to say about this? Cannot really test running values on the 3 drop wires as operating time is too short before going to 44 amps.
