I'm wiring two replacement submersible pumps for a municipal water station. In addition to the other wiring, each pump has a single-conductor cable that is apparently for an electrode in the motor compartment to detect seal leakage. I'm a little confused by the single wire, but it looks like the relay it goes to loops to ground to measure the resistivity. Do I have that basically correct?
Also, the factory cables will go to a junction box from which I need to extend the power and control conductors to the actual control cabinet. Do I need any special kind of wire to extend this electrode conductor?
