*Assumes three (3) copper conductors in a buried conduit and 3% maximum voltage loss in branch circuit. All National Electrical Code
®
(NEC
®
) and
local codes must be followed. Table shows minimum wire size and branch fuse recommendations for a typical installation per NEC.
Table 3. Recommended Minimum Wire Size for FHP Pumps
The National Electrical Code
®
(NEC
®
, NFPA-70
®
)
requires all pool pump circuits be protected with a
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI). Therefore, it is also
the responsibility of the electrical installer to ensure that
the pump circuit is in compliance with this and all other
applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and any other applicable installation codes.
CAUTION
Failure to provide data plate voltage (within 10%)
during operation will cause the motor to overheat
and void the warranty.
3.2.2 Bonding and Grounding
1.
In addition to being properly grounded as
described below in Sec. 3.2.3, and in accordance
with the requirements of the National Electrical
Code
®
(NEC)
®
, or in Canada the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC), the pump motor must
be bonded to all metal parts of the swimming
pool, spa or hot tub structure and to all electrical
components and equipment associated with the
pool/spa water circulation system.
2.
The bonding must be accomplished by using a
solid copper conductro, No. 8 AWG or larger.
In Canada No. 6 AWG or larger must be used.
Bond the motor using the external bonding lug
provided on the motor frame.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of property damage, severe
personal injury, and/or death, always disconnect
the power source before working on a motor or its
connected load.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of property damage, severe
personal injury, and/or death, make sure that
the control switch or time clock is installed in an
accessible location so that in the event of an
equipment failure or a loose plumbing fitting the
equipment can be turned off. This location must not
be in the same area as the pool pump, filter, and
other equipment.
CAUTION
The pump must be permanently connected to a
dedicated electrical circuit. No other equipment,
lights, appliances or outlets may be connected to
the pump circuit, with the exception of devices that
may be required to operate simultaneously with the
pump, such as a chlorinating device or heater.
3.2.3 Electrical Wiring
WARNING
To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal
injury, or death, always ground before connecting to
an electrical power supply.
1.
The pump motor must be securely and
adequately grounded using the green screw
provided. Ground before attempting to connect
to an electrical power supply.
Do not ground to
a gas supply line.
2.
Wire size must be adequate to minimize a
voltage drop during the start-up and operation
of the pump. See Table 3 for suggested wire
sizes.
