Our house is on a well. It has a pump outside at the well and a large water tank, and another pump in the laundry room attached to a smaller tank. The one in the laundry room just burned itself up. It's a 1/2 hp motor, model number C48H2EC11 from Sta-Rite.
Basically what I'm wondering about is what this pump actually did. Was it responsible for getting water to the ouse, or only giving us good pressure in the shower? It must've seen a voltage spike because our circuit breaker tripped and shut the whole house down. We only had the TV, DVD player, and my laptop on. Shortly after resetting the breaker, we start noticing a smoky smell. After finally tracking it down to the laundry room, I felt the motor and it was hot. Then I saw the tell tale black streak on the motor.
