Question:

My back up generator has 4 prong 240 connector. Well pump has 3 wires.?

How do i connect generator to well pump?

Answer:

Well okorder
Is the well pump 120 or 240 volt? You also need to know the exact connector type so we can figure out which pin is which. The 4 pin connector is hot hot neutral ground The 3 pin connector, if 120 volt, is hot neutral ground, and you just pick up one of the hots in the 4 pin connector and leave the other hot open The 3 pin connector, if 240 volt, is hot hot ground, and you just hook up to the corresponding pins in the 4 pin connector leaving the neutral open. .
