30 amps is running through 1200 kcmills or so because of the distance. how can i
splice into a transfer switch? So basicly this 30 amps from the pole is running underground 2 run 2 well pumps, the reason the wire is so big is because of the distance now i need to put in a transfer switch incase the power goes out, what would you recommend the lugs are way to small for this so i need to either replace the lugs or splice the wire from 1200 kcmills to 10 or 8 awg wire ...... what else are my options

Can you PLEASE try and re-write this so we can understand it?
This whole post is one run on sentence and is impossible to comprehend.
Don't start the post in the title and continue into the body. Again, that makes it hard to get.
Also, try to describe the situation a little better.
What size wire is going to the well?
Replace WHAT lugs???
What is one the pole? A meter? Panel?
Where will the transfer switch go?
I thought it was just early, why 1200 Kcmil was not registering, It handles 6000 Amps(aluminum). If these are small pumps, this could be a very long run(very Expensive)
Motor Loads? Distance, Voltage?.
Sorry guys but i don't have patience to sit here for an hour and try to explain alot. I do have supervisors but it was the weekend... im asking tomorrow .. haha 4 years is plenty of time to do jobs, you do realize everything i do is inspected right ? i've never failed because i do ask questions and pick peoples brains! i have made over 50.000 on the side
Well no problem, We know you don't have an hour, but in 5 minutes, can you "guess" the pump size, and estimate the distance in Football fields?
And we DO realize, everything you do gets inspected.
