I have a simple task. I have 2) 10hp 240V well pumps. One is a backup pump if the primary pump fails. My desire is to have one control box send current to the pumps 150 feet away. Before the pumps I would like a “selector” switch to send power to the pump of my choosing. I would like to have this switch remotely controlled from my office.
The goal is to have one float system communicate with the pump to control the water level in the holding tank. Should there be a pump failure, I flick a switch in the office, and the secondary pump resumes the job. I run one control box and set of wires to two pumps instead of two sets of everything. I cut the wiring cost in half and my boss builds a shrine in my honor while doubling my salary! One can dream can’t he?
A switch, relay, contactor, MUST exist for a job like this. How do I find it?
