Two wire 240 volt Submersible pump, Well is 80 feet deep and 240 volts supply. Double pole Breaker (20amp) and wires are new (14ga down well). 30 amp Switch box is new at pump house. Pressure switch is new. Everything is new except the 1 1/4" pipe down well.
This my second new pump in a week. The first pump worked less than a day and would not run. I had power (110v on each black wire) at the pressure switch. I pulled the pump and the wires checked with power at connection to pump motor. I applied power to the pump outside the well at the lead wires and no movement. Each wire showed 110 volts with voltage light.
I installed a second pump. Pump does not run. As before, I have power 110v on each black wire leaving the pressure switch.
I am not an electrician, but I do not understand why the pump does not run. Could I have got a bad pupm? I would appreciate any help someone could give me as to what could be my pump problem or how I could test the pump motor with a meter, etc.
Thanks
