  • N – Pump with 115V, 60 Hz, 1 Ph motor without control switch
  • BN – Pump with 115V, 60 Hz, 1 Ph motor with single piggyback float switch
  • D – Pump with 230V, 60 Hz, 1 Ph motor with automatic control switch
  • E – Pump with 230V, 60 Hz, 1 Ph motor without control switch
  • G – Pump with 460V, 60 Hz, 3 Ph motor without control switch
