Testing Pump Fuses for Damage with Voltage On - BP2000G1 

TEST THE VOLTAGE FROM THE 

RIGHT SIDE OF THE FUSE

TEST THE VOLTAGE FROM THE 

LEFT SIDE OF THE FUSE

THERE ARE THREE 30A PUMP FUSES IN THE BP2000G1 SPA CONTROL SYSTEM. 

F6 AND F8 ARE ON THE MAIN BOARD.  F1 IS LOCATED ON THE EXPANDER BOARD.  

CAUTION - TEST IS WITH POWER ON

240V on each side 

indicates a good fuse

240V on one side and  

0V on the other side  

indicates a bad fuse

Then continue 

measuring the other 

two fuses: F8, F1

F6 TO TB1
