A vault for the pump is located 280’ from the house where power comes from,
The pump motor control box and pressure tank are going to be installed in the vault.
The well is 300’ deep. The well driller dropped #10 AWG wire to the pump motor at the bottom of the well. The pump motor is 3 HP, 240V, 1-phase.
Regarding voltage drop we were told we only needed to concern ourselves with the distance to the vault and not past the control box.
In my mind vd needs to include the full distance to the load (pump motor).
Am I missing something?
