ELECTRICAL
Ground motor before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to
ground pump motor can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard.
Do not ground to a gas supply line.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to motor
before working on electrical connections.
GFCI tripping indicates an electrical problem. If GFCI trips and will not
reset, have a qualified electrician inspect and repair electrical system.
Exactly match supply voltage to nameplate voltage. Incorrect voltage
can cause fire or seriously damage motor and voids warranty.
Grounding:
Install, ground, and wire motor according to local or National Electrical Code
requirements.
Permanently ground motor; use size and type wire required by code.
Ground connection must be made to green grounding terminal under motor
canopy or access plate (see Figure 1).
Connect motor ground terminal to electrical service ground.
Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 sq. mm) solid copper bonding wire to the pressure
wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all metal parts of the
swimming pool, spa, or hot tub and to all electrical equipment, metal piping
or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or
hot tub.
Install and bond pump according to local codes and ordinances; use copper
bonding lug on motor (see Figure 1).
Wiring:
Pump must be permanently connected to circuit. Tables I, II, and III, Page 6,
gives correct wire and circuit breaker sizes for the pump alone. If other lights
or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads to
pump amp load before figuring wire and circuit breaker sizes. (If unsure how
to do this or if this is confusing, consult a licensed electrician.) Use the load
circuit breaker as the master on-off switch.
Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit; it will sense a short-
circuit to ground and disconnect power before it becomes dangerous to pool
users. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see manufac-
turer’s instruction.
In case of power outage, check GFCI for tripping (which will prevent normal
pump operation). Reset if necessary.
NOTICE:
If you do not use conduit when wiring motor,
be sure
to seal wire
opening on end of motor to prevent dirt, bugs, etc., from entering.
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death.
Ground pump before
connecting to
power supply.
