Water Ace R200A Manuel D'installation page 6

Installing a submersible well pump, continued.
Process A: Steps 1 through 5, At The Pump, Cable, Continued, Splice Check
STEP
You must check pump cables and splices for
5
electrical leaks with an ohmmeter. Refer to drawing
to the right.
STEP 1: Fill a bucket with water. Submerge pump
cables and splices completely. Leave bare wire ends
of cables out of the water.
STEP 2: With the ohmmeter selector knob on Rx
100K and the ohmmeter leads clipped together,
adjust the ohmmeter needle to zero.
STEP 3: Submerge one ohmmeter lead in the water.
Clip the other lead to first one bare wire end, then
the other. If the ohmmeter reads infinity (∞), the
cable splice is watertight. If the needle defects to
zero on either cable, there is a leak in the splice,
or damage to the cable insulation. Slowly pull the
cable that registered zero from the water. The point
at which the needle falls back to infinity (∞) is
the point on the cable where it is damaged, or has
a leaky splice. It must be repaired with a cable
splice kit.
You may write the installation date, service date and other
important notes regarding your well pump for your records here.
