Looking for a Relay Coil/Contact (part#155031110) for a 3 HP Franklin Deluxe Box (model 2823028310, 230V, 60Hz, 1 PH). Hopefully one made by GE or the like, not by China! Lightning loves these guys even when you have the breaker shutoff.

I hooked up with someone here on the board for the part. My box has always been suspceptible to lightning and we had a big bolt hit within 1/4mile of the pump box Saturday night taking the power out. The box's breaker was off but it was plain to see the lightning came in from the ground wire (tad bit of black on the box connection) and toasted the relay. This and sometimes an overload are the typical items I see damaged by lightning. I have used 30amp plugs on the box with success and just disconnect ground and power during storms but I have been concerned I may create too much resistance on the power and hurt the pump motor. I keep a spare rebulit box handy to get me by until I rebuild the other. Lightning is why I do not have a cycle stop valve or the like. There is no way I know of to protect electrical items from lightning unless you totally disconnect the power and ground from the item. Surge protectors may work but they are pricer and get cooked too. I doubt anyone will give me a guarantee on lightning damage. The well and pump are basically on a mountain top and thankfully it being 775 feet down lightning has never toasted the motor.

Go with the dryer plug or welder plug - no resistance to speak of. The CSV is non electric but probably wouldnt work with your well depth.
