We are having some work done on our well and pressure tank.  I have a question
about the wiring.  It is powered by a 220V 20A breaker.  If remember correctly
they used 12/2 with ground romax to run power to the pressure switch in the
crawl space.

When I was questioning the owner of the well service about what wiring is
required, he said they always have an electrician run it for them.  He thought
there were normally just three wires.  He did not remember having a red
conductor just white, black and ground.  He and I were not communicating very
well, so I want to run it past the knowledgeable people on this list.

I would have thought 12/3 with ground would have been the correct wire.  This
would have meant that there would have been a red and a black wire for phase,
a white wire for ground and the bare wire as the grounded conductor.

Am I missing something?
