Hi everyone,
I recently moved into an older home that has well water and a 1/2 HP 230VAC (single phase) motor. I would like to replace the breaker box/switch for increased reliability. It currently has a Square D 30 Amp enclosed, single throw switch, 240 VAC with two 20A NON-time delay fuses. I've had to replace the fuses a couple of times already (due to power surge/overloaded circuit) and would prefer not to need to keep them in stock. What is the best alternative or can I just replace it with a 240V safety switch? There is another 30AMP breaker for this circuit at the main panel.
Thank you for your input!
