Hi all, I just moved into a place with three-phase running through a shop in addition to the 240 for the house. The home's pump is a Gould's JRS10 that had originally run on the shop's circuitry, but has been tacked into the home's at the expense of a baseboard heater (I think the seller shut the three-phase down for a while when the house was on the market). I was going to just reconnect it to the original wiring and get my baseboard back, but I was surprised to see the tag on the pump mention only 115/230. To me, this tag implies that 208 would not be appropriate for the pump. Does this seem right for all you folks with direct experience here? I suppose they either (a) had the pump running on 120 from the shop, and switched it over to the house's 240 or (b) ran it on 208 from the shop, advisable or not. If I can't run it on the shop's 208, what do I lose by reverting it back to the 120? Just efficiency? It claims to draw 13.4/8.7. Does this translate into a big change on the electricity bill. Thanks in advance for any input on this matter,
Mark
