ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Single pole float switch / 240-volt pump

Redsy:

there is one waring about the float switch if you wired on 240 volt keep in your mind one leg will be hot all the time.

but one question i will like to know what size pump you are planning to use with this float switch ??

this kind of floating switch is not designed with mangatinc or contractor starter device [ i deal with that before it will " chatter" a little ]

if you plan to use the float switch with maganitc switch or contractor you have to use the double concat float switch [ they have this kind of verison ]


the last thing when you look at the pdf file look on bottom right you will see the 240 volt connection and you will understand why i warn you about one hot leg all the time and you might have to change the plug conferation to 240 volts or hardwired it

i am sure few other guys will chime in on this one too.

Merci. Marc
