I have an pump that I am trying to wire but the pump wire colors and the incoming plug wire colors are different. The old plug has a black wire, white wire, and green wire. There is a green screw which I know mounts the ground wire; however, the pump has a yellow wire with black stripe and a brown solid wire. Does the white wire match up with the yellow/black striped wire and the brown with the black wire?Thanks
if there are only 2 wires, then the colors don't mean much
Pump for what? Brown and yellow are often colors to identify 480vac systems. Not that I would think for one second you have 480vac at your house but the voltage requirements for different motors vary and the pump is most likely governed by a motor. I would say check the rating in the sheetwork or listed on the pump and if its the same voltage requirements of your old one then I would wire it the way you intend.
