    I need help in wiring a submersible well pump
    I purchased a 1.5 HP 3 wire submersible well pump. I was surprised to see the four wires as follows:

    1 - Black
    1 - Blue
    1 - Yellow with a green stripe
    1 - Brown

    Not at all what I was expecting in the normal setup of 1 each red, black, green, and blue.

    Can someone help me figure out how to connect this? THe four wires are encased in a blue flat style plastic surround much like UF Wire.

    I would appreciate your assistance.
