I have a 220-240v?, 1 h.p. submerssible well pump. I asked my well guy and it is ok to run 10g wire for this up to 630'. The pump is 240' down w/ 10g wire running up to a control box. I need to run 10g wire from control box, about 300' to a temp power pole and run pump for a FEW HRS. I have about 200' of 10g wire, i will then have to hard wire the end onto a plug, plug into a 10g extension cord (or two) and then again cut a piece of 10g wire and hard wire into plug for end of extension cord and hard wire other end to 220 breaker. My question is, could all these connections cause too much of a drop and damage pump?
