It's a Gould pump but I didn't get any numbers off it when I had it
out last. The breaker is a 60 amp (I think). Wire is 10 gauge (I
think - but it is larger than 12 gauge), 3 conductor to the well head,
and 2 conductor down the drop pipe. The ground wire doesn't connect
to anything past the well head.
60 amp breaker w/ 10 guage wire doesn't make sense (or code).
If it was 3 wires down to the pump, there should be a rectangular
"control" box somewhere that has pump motor data on it (such as HP).
If it is a 2-wire pump, you could measure the run current
(if you have one of those clamp-on ammeters) and get an idea from that:
For 230 V, two wire Franklin motors (used in Goulds pumps):
1/3 HP 4.0 Amps
1/2 HP 5.0 Amps
3/4 HP 6.8 Amps
1 HP 8.2 Amps
1 1/2 HP 10.6 Amps
(from http://www.goulds.com/pdf/TDSINGLE.pdf)
You may want to look up documentation on Goulds 4" Submersible pumps
