You replaced the timer with one that has a clock motor clearly labeled as 208/227 VAC. The old one was marked 125 VAC. Pretty sure it won't work right or at least the timer clock motor won't last long. Some of these units come with two voltage wires so you can choose 110 or 220 volts. The one you bought is the wrong replacement.

Did you watch the video to the end? I explained how I made this work and that a 220v timer can easily handle 110v. Yes I did get the incorrect timer and said that in the video.

Actually, wires and switches are designed for a specific amperage independent of voltage. A 1 HP motor draws about 750 watts. At 220v that's 3.75A inductive load, at 110v that's 7.5A so if it will take the current at 110v it will also handle the current at 220v but not the other way around. The only other consideration is the timer voltage and making sure you don't accidentally run 220v through it. (It would overheat)

Hey! Thanks for the comment. It is always good to point out any information in the video I missed. I could not agree more. I did know this would be ok to do but it is only because I am familiar with how electronics work. I am an electronics engineer grad who switched over to computers. You would not know this in my videos mainly because I only record videos around things I need to get done around the house. :)

T101M for 120v, just ordered a new one for my timer I use for my outlets for my Christmas lights. My original lasted over 26 years, new timer just under $60 through amazon 12/2022.

a breaker box on the outside of the home? That gets rained on? is that box water tight? oh boy......seems like a short or drawing too much current to melt those wires. you have no doubt a 220 box can handle 110? Whoa! there mr. Einstein ........I mean that's a nobel peace prize discovery.

I am not sure why you decided to comment. Nothing you said was a question or constructive feedback. In this part of the country breaker boxes on the outside of the houses are common. I did not design this I only worked on it.

WOW I know this is an old Video BUT I did expect some of the comments would include this very important information BUT THEY DID NOT. Do you know what the Green Screw is for? OK you got it. Get it wired so you have a little better protection. Just remember you are not a cat.

The green screw is ground but I already have a ground and did not need it. A redundant ground does not hurt anything but if it is not needed then why bother? In my case you cannot see it but the ground is drove about 8 feet in the ground just below this box and I am tired in to that.

You purchased a double pole timer and the old one was a single pole timer
@HowToWithJames
@HowToWithJames 2 жыл бұрын
I did explain the differences in detail in the video and even showed the model number I should have got verses what I did get. You are correct it is a double pole time to handle up to 240 volts verses the single pole timer I needed to handle just 110 volts and only 1 pump.
