Grounding and bonding swimming pool pump

[Mike57]

Good luck and yes I’ve always said pecker head on motors. Just a habit.

Slow catching up. Got it all back together and up and running. I attached the ground to the motor frame and it just hummed when turned on. I turned every thing back off started studying the diagram again. After pulling the wires back out and retraining them in a little neater I pulled the isolated mystery brown out. I got my glasses on and noticed that there were two other brown wires tied together of different gauges. Sure enough they had the “J” on them. So I temped the third brown J wire with them and flipped her on. It spun up and purred like a kitten. I made a good connection on them, tucked it all back in the “Pecker head” neatly and buttoned it up. Mission accomplished. Thanks to Megawatt and other contributors for help knocking it out. Appreciate it all.

Thanks, I inherited it from my dad. Sometimes the ability to fix things can be a curse. I enjoy it.

A good challenge is always a good learning experience
