How large a wire do I need to have for a 3/4 HP deep well submersible (non variable speed) pump? I may have to do a run of 500 feet. The pump will be down 200 feet with a 150 foot head. I need about 10-15 gallons per minute. I know that the starting surge current is high and do not know if I need to do the current load (and wire size) on that basis or if I need to just accomidate the run current load. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I just moved from europe back to New Zealand and I am putting new plugs on my cables, but one cable has a transformer/converter at the end that plugs directly into the wall (so I can't put a new plug on it). Here at home I found a similar transformer with a NZ plug fitting (and the same round output plug to fit in my appliance). The input is the same (240v) but the output it slightly different. The original transformer has a 12v 500mA (AC) output, the one I've found has a 12v 550mA (AC) output. It's to power my phono stage (a small bit of hi-fi equipment used to convert the signal/sound going from a record player into a normal signal that is then sent to the amplifier). So the output is almost the same, except the one I want to use has a 50mA higher value. My question is, safe to use it on my phono stage, or don't risk it :NO NO NO: ? Thanks for any comments!
