That 5 amp difference bothers me. Do you have 120V controls and valves on
one leg? I'm assuming the motor is 240v.
Wow.
Read all the posts and am not seeing the running voltage. The 80+ amps
disturbs me if this is a single phase motor because 80+ amps is a lot
to manage for a single phase enviorement in any case.
A 15HP should be 3 phase things. 480 volts and if just 240 or so the
wire size should be up there. For the temperature mentioned on the
news today the wire size should be at least 2 sizes above code and
more so if the runs are long. 100' or more.
So is the pump in a deep well or on the surface? What are the original
readings when installed? I don't know how often or how much the pump
is used but it should have a regular maintenance schedule to including
pulling it out of the well if it is in one and maiking sure all is
well. Beaings do go bad. Connections and contacts do need to be
checked yearly.
Besides all the connection things mentioned, hopefully all the wiring
is Copper and not Aluminum.
Is the breaker a motor type and the correct one for the use?
Bob AZ 106 right now.
