Float switch wiring diagram for pump:
This diagram shows how to make a float switch wiring diagram for the water pump. In this circuit, we use a TP MCB ( Tripple Pole Minature Circuit Breaker ), a DP MCB ( Double Pole Minature Circuit Breaker ), a magnetic contactor, an overload, a stop switch, a start switch, an NO Switch, an NC Switch, and water tank. First, we need to connect the TP MCB with the power source then connect the contactor and DP MCB with the TP MCB, then connect the stop-start switch and water tank with the contactor. Now this circuit is ready for use.

Components used to make the Float switch wiring diagram for pump:
01. TP MCB:
The full meaning of MCB is Miniature Circuit Breaker for TP MCB. MCB is an electromagnetic switch or device. If for any reason a short circuit occurs in the supply line or load line (line to line or line to neutral) or in case of overload MCB. the MCB automatically trips and disconnects the main line circuit or household power supply Connection. TP MCB In 3 Pole MCB, Switching & Protection is affected in only 3-Phases and the Neutral is not part of the MCB. 3 pole MCB signifies the Connection of Three Wires for a 3-Phase system Red-Yellow-Blue Phase. 3-Phase Supply Only Without Neutral.
02. DP MCB:
DP MCB In 2 Pole MCB, switching & protection is affected in phases and the neutral. A Double Pole or DP Switch is a Switch that Controls 2 Circuits at the same time. In terms of Residential Switching, this Normally means it Switches the live and Neutral at the same time. In Layperson Terms, Double Pole switches or DP Switches are Exclusively Designed to Control 2 Different Electrical Circuits at the same time, which allows the Appliances to Isolate safely and reliably. Fan or light Combinations and Medical Equipment are some of the many applications for DP Electrical Switches and Electrical components.
03. Stop Switch:
An NC (Normally Closed) Push Button is a Push Button That, In Its Default State, Makes Electrical Contact With The Circuit. An NC (Normally Closed) Push Button is a Push Button that, in its Default State, Makes electrical Contact With the Circuit. When The Button Is Pressed Down, The Switch no Longer Makes Electrical Contact And The Circuit is Now Open. When The Button is Not Pressed, Electricity Can Flow, But When it is Pressed The Circuit is Broken. This type Of Switch is Also known As a Normally Closed (NC) Switch.
04. Start Switch:
NO (Normally Open) Terms Refer to a Type of Dry Contact or Wet Contact. A Push to Make Switch Allows Electricity to flow Between its 2 contacts when held in. When the button is released, the Circuit is broken. This type of Switch is also known as A Normally Open (NO) Switching system. As its name implies, a Normally Open (NO) Switch Contact or “a Contact” is a Switch. Put very simply, a Normally Open Sensor will have no Current When in a Normal State But When it Enters an Alarm State it will have +5V applied to the Circuit.
05. Water Tank:
Water tank storage is the storage of water, which we use for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes. Water storage tanks come in a variety of materials, shapes, and sizes depending on the intended use of the tank. A water storage tank is main role is to store water before it can be used for drinking, washing, cleaning, etc. - but many storage tanks are more complicated than they seem. There are some common types of water storage tanks that we use in homes. 1. Well-pressure tank 2. The thermal expansion tank 3. Reverse osmosis tank.
06. Magnetic Contactor:
A magnetic contactor is an electromagnetic switching device. It is generally used for controlling 3-phase Motors. The operation of a magnetic contactor is similar to that of a Relay. but a relay is used for low-power or low-voltage connections, and a magnetic contactor is used for high-power or high-voltage connections. As soon as the supply is applied to the magnetic contactor coil. its normally open contacts are closed and normally closed contacts are opened and the associated devices are also operated. This is how a magnetic contactor works.

Frequently asked questions
We recommend using a piggy-back float of the switch or control panel to operate 230V pumps. DO NOT USE THE METHOD DESCRIBED BELOW FOR 230V of the PUMPS. In 115V wiring, there are three wire legs, 1) Hot 2) Neutral, and 3) Ground. The pump will have these three wires and the incoming power supply will have these 3 wires.
The mechanical switch inside the float opens and closes depending on the counterweight and pre-set trigger, allowing an electrical current flow to pass through to the device. The sensor probes inside the float switch are what trigger the pump to fill or stop filling the tank or container with liquid.
The problem occurs when this float switch fails to rise or becomes stuck in the “on” position. At these times, the sump pump will either fail to turn on or would be unable to turn off, which will eventually burn out the motor. Either way, you could expect a flood in your basement during the next rain.
As the float rises and falls with the liquid level, the magnet moves closer to or further away from the reed switch, causing it to open and close. In both of the cases, the changing liquid level is translated to an electrical on-off signal by the movement of the magnet.
A specific float switch would be rated to handle a set electrical load. If the load exceeds the rating of the switch, the heat could damage the contacts in the switch and cause it to malfunction.
