I have a well pump on a 240volt 20 amp GFCI breaker that will not hold. It held on a regular 2p20 for over a year. This well pump set up has a bladder with a solenoid pressure reg valve, controller with a capacitor, and about 500 feet of total length for conductor. I have about .2 amps between phases on start up. (27.38A and 27.58A). The pump is a 3 wire (two hots and a yellow). I have continuity between both legs plus both legs and the yellow wire. Ohms between legs is 13.8 ohms, leg 1 - yellow is 11 ohms, leg 2 to yellow is 3ohms. I have zero experience with well pumps let alone pumps with controllers with a capacitor and bladder solenoid pressure reg valve controlling the pump.
Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated.
