How to turn on/off using solid state relay and esp32

Hello, i am trying to make an automated irrigation system with Blynk 2.0 and a esp32. I have a little bit of dilemma on how i can switch on/off my water pump for my sprinklers.

My water pump is 0.5 hp, 60hz and 370 watts and i also have a solid state relay 60DA. I need help with the wiring diagram as I'm afraid i might break something.

I appreciate any advice and criticisms that you have for me :smiling_face:

What are you using for the pump? Do you have a picture?

3

Can you show or tell us the connection terminals on the relay? Does your mains voltage happen to be 220 volts AC?

4

At this point you worry me, do you have any experience with mains power? Do you have somebody to help you that has experience? If you make a mistook you can hurt yourself or others very badly. What experience do you have in the environmental conditions this will be in?

5

Is this what you have?
SSR 60 DA

hello, i apologize for the late reply. This is the water pump that i will be using

Yes, that's exactly the relay that i will be using

i have some experience in electronic wirings, installation and microcontrollers.

in the technical description of the water pump it says Single phase 220V/50Hz.

Just occurred to me that "booster" pumps are usually inserted in a low pressure water line to increase the pressure. For example a house at high elevation may suffer from low water pressure because, while the city water pressure at the bottom of the hill may be 80 PSI, the pressure 100 feet higher would only be 38 PSI. So a booster pump would be installed inline to increase the pressure at the house.
Hope that pump will work for you.

The water will be coming from a rain reservoir tank just beside the water pump. Will that pose any problem?

Unknown. :neutral_face:

I don't think it will.

The theory is the same the electrical is bigger. One word of caution I do not know that pump but I have seen plumbing fail when a valve is closed on an operating pump that does not have some type of shock adsorber such as a pressure tank. Be sure to shut the pump off before closing the last valve, you should leave a few second delay to be safe.

If like my irrigation pump. the seals will leak and take care of the pressure.
