Hi. I am replacing a circulating pump for my pool. The motor can be run using 115 or 230 volts. It is 1 1/2 HP I'm replacing a 1 HP motor.
I'm not sure if the old pump motor was run on 230 or 115. There was 3 wires going to it one wire was definetly a ground. the other 2 went to L1 and L2 terminals. The new pump has the same terminals but has a switch for 115 or 230
The breaker for the pump is a dual 30 amp breaker.
I have a volt meter. If it is 230 I believe I should have 115 volts on each wire using a meter with one wire connected to the ground?
Am I right?
The motor is a single phase motor.
