120v Sump pump with 5 wires?

[ramsy]

Anyone seen this connector before?
5 wires to a 120v convenience outlet.

1st image shows factory T-connector cord cap, for 2 cords, only 1 with EGC.
Megger passes from each of 4 wires to EGC, but not between each other.

2nd image shows it hard wired, whites to GFCI load Neutral, blacks to GFCI load hot.

Flip switch blows breaker 100ft away, before GFCI can trip.

The tee connection is a float switch with a molded plug. If it has been cut off, and the whites and blacks are tied together, you have a direct short.

The 2-wire cord is for the float switch, in series with one of the fed-thru connections.

Ok, float switch legs should interrupt power line, same way any switch does.

Thank you kindly

Thank you sir. Will fix the error of my ways.
