I am a friends farm in Uruguay helping out for two weeks. He fired a farm hand for good cause and he came back at night and smashed the well pump control box. My friend was not able to get a new one there so I brought one from the states. The terminals on the new box are marked yellow red and black. The wires that come up from the submerged pump are brown blue and green. Here nobody cares about color code standards whatever works is the mantra. Since the box was smashed the only component in the old box that I could identify was the capacitor. The capacitor in the old box was connected across pump lines brown and blue. I can email a photo of the new control box and the old one with a diagram. Can anyone tell me how to connect the wires to the pump to to new box? Does the order of the capacitor wires matter in that would it affect the starting torque (reversed) if the capacitor wires are switched? I dont know how to attach photos to this post but I can send them via email. Thanks we are really screwed without a well pump and there is no one here that can help.
