Motor Voltage Change
The A.O. Smith and Emerson jet pump motors both have a
voltage change switch for ease of changing operating
voltage from low (115 volt) to high (230 volt) operation. The
A.O. Smith switch must be pulled out, moved and pushed in.
The Emerson switch is a toggle that can be changed using a
pen tip or a small screwdriver. The Emerson motor switch is
marked 115 and 230.
It is an industry standard procedure to ship
CAUTION
½ hp motors wired at 115 volts, connecting
them to a 230 volt power supply will damage the motor
windings, and/or the capacitor, and/or the overload protec-
tor. This damage is easily diagnosed and will not be covered
as a warranty failure.
Motors of ¾ hp and larger are factory wired for 230 volts.
Connecting them to a 115 volt power supply without chang-
ing the voltage switch will result in poor performance, noisy
operation and overload tripping due to high heat.
DEEP WELL SYSTEMS
