^This.
The switch just handles the amps.
The amps are from the pumper/motor.
[we assume the electrical supply to the pump is good]
The amps from the pump motor are based on a continuous fresh supply of water and a clean pump.
That should work forever under normal conditions.
It may be supply lines blocked by minerals...or routed too ziggy from the well...or unfiltered ground water supply detriment which is chewing up the pump....
What you see burn up might not be the actual problem.
Fix the source.
