Water pump voltage drop problem

Very good to all, I hope and you can help me, I am installing a 1 hp water pump controlled by two electro levels (in tinaco and cistern), it has a power supply of 127 v, if I connect it directly without the electro levels, the voltage it goes down to 120v, but if I connect it in series to the electro levels at the time of starting the engine the voltage decreases by almost 50%, but when checking voltage at the electro level without the pump I have 127v, my electro levels are Again, so I don't think they are the problem, and I don't know what is happening.

Hi. How much cable links the levels and what section are they? Actually, the pump should not be operated directly with the mains voltage since it is dangerous because it is deadly. To avoid this, a 24-volt system is used. If you want I leave you the diagram of how it would be. regards

They are approximately 10 meters caliber 12

Israel: read this manual https://www.yoreparo.com/electricidad/electricidad-del-hogar/manuales/5765964/instalacion-electrica-de-bombas-para-elevar-agua There is everything explained with different planes so that you use the one that best suits your condition and although it is based on another operating voltage, this does not change anything, it is perfectly applicable to 127V There you have 2 problems. 1. Voltage drop in the line that feeds the motor directly from 127 to 120, which although only 7V is more than the maximum allowed by international standards (5%) 2. A very important voltage drop in the line that connects the sensors to the motor which is very risky, this is solved in two ways, or by increasing the section of all the complete wiring, or by placing a contactor, the latter gives you the possibility (optional but absolutely recommended for security reasons) of handling this signal with a safety voltage (12 or 24V) as mentioned by friend Servimat1 (greetings) the latter will solve both, the voltage drop and the lack of security you should also reinforce the line a little more to avoid those 7V drop with the cable of the immediate caliber greater than the one you have would be enough using the contactor regards

Ok, but what makes me weird is that the voltage drop is only when I connect the motor, because if the voltage is not running, my voltage is normal 127v

That is normal
The voltage drop is directly proportional to the consumption and the length of the circuit, and inversely proportional to the conductor section

But if that installation was already and worked well, an electro level change was made and there he began to do that, and he put the same model of electroniveles

Then there is a false contact somewhere, it can be one of the electronic levels or some new or loose connection or connection that was already there but stayed or some cable that is almost cut
