Guide to Wiring a Submersible Well Pump Safely and Effectively

How to Wire a Submersible Well Pump


Wiring a submersible well pump may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and knowledge, it can be accomplished safely and effectively. A submersible pump is designed to be submerged in water, using a hermetically sealed motor to push groundwater to the surface. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to wire one properly.


1. Gather the Necessary Tools and Materials


Before starting, ensure you have the following tools and materials a voltage tester, wire strippers, a screwdriver, electrical tape, and waterproof connectors. Make sure to choose the right size and type of wire based on the pump specifications and the distance from the power source.


2. Disconnect Power Supply


Safety is paramount when working with electrical components. Before you begin wiring your submersible well pump, turn off the power supply at the breaker panel. Use a voltage tester to confirm that there is no current running through the wires before proceeding.


3. Prepare the Pump and Cable


Carefully remove the protective casing from the well and inspect the pump. Check the pump’s wiring and ensure there are no visible damages. If the pump comes with an attached power cable, make sure it is long enough to reach the electrical junction box. If not, you will need to use extension wire that matches the pump’s specifications.


4. Strip the Wires


Using wire strippers, carefully remove the outer insulation from the power cable connected to the pump. Be cautious while stripping the wires to avoid damaging the copper strands inside. Typically, there will be three wires one for the ground (usually green or bare), one for the neutral (usually white), and one for the hot (usually black or red).

5. Connect the Wires

In the junction box, you’ll find a corresponding set of wires from the power source. Connect the hot wire from the pump to the hot wire from the power source. Next, connect the neutral wires and ground wires in the same manner. Use waterproof connectors to ensure a secure, weatherproof connection.


6. Secure the Junction Box


Once all wires are connected, carefully push them back into the junction box. Secure the cover and ensure that it is tightly sealed to protect against water and moisture.


7. Test the System


Before submerging the pump back into the well, turn on the power at the breaker. Test the pump by checking if it turns on and operates smoothly. If everything functions properly, you can proceed to lower the pump back into the well.


8. Final Checks


After the pump is submerged, monitor its operation for a few minutes to ensure it is running correctly. Check for any unusual noises or vibrations that could indicate problems.


In conclusion, wiring a submersible well pump requires careful attention to detail and adherence to safety protocols. By following these steps, you can ensure a successful installation and reliable operation of your well pump. Always consult with a professional if you are unsure about any part of the process.
