Can I use a submersible pump 220v Canada in Asia 220v?

I was giving advice to a guy in the Philippines, and I'd qualified my
remark about red vs. black. My remark may have been technically wrong,

Not just "technically wrong" but potentially deadly. That's why I said
something.

but your advice to the guy I was advising was IDENTICAL.

Thanks for the info about NA power wiring, though. Any idea whether
gray, pink, or flourescent orange should be phase A, B, or C?

In North America, gray is not permitted to be anything but neutral, ever.

With regard to the others, I have no idea. I've never worked with three-phase
power. All I can tell you there is that the Code does not specify color codes
for the different phases. I believe the trade has adopted informal
conventions, but I do not know what they are. Google is probably your friend.

Thanks everybody for your help. I learned something here. I will
install the pump next week. The black with the black for "power", the
red with the white for "return" and the ground with the ground for
safety. I hope it will work because the pump will be 170 feet down,
and I have no idea how to test it before installing it at the bottom
of the well. Quite sure it will work. Thanks.

You could test it in a swimming pool, or a lake.

How big is this pump? Wire it to a suicide cord, put it in a tank of
water, and turn it on! If it's one of those tall skinny end-if-the-pipe
ones, then, use one of those tall recycling bins. If it's too tall for
that, find a swimming pool or hot tub you can use. ;-)
