My 220 breaker for my 1hp deep well pump is tripping. It will not trip right when you turn it on but after 3 or 4 minutes it trips. I threw some parts at it last night (new breaker and new pressure switch) trying to take the easy way out but that did not help.
Tonight I took the wire loose at the pressure switch; put wire caps on the ends of the wire and turned on the power. After about 5 minutes the breaker tripped. So now I assume the wire has a break somewhere. Problem is it is 250ft long and buried about 1ft deep in the hard clay for the past 13 yrs.
Unless someone can give me some advise on how to narrow down where the problem is so I can fix it I guess I am headed to the orange box store in the morning to buy some wire.
