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 (115 or 230 Volt
single phase only)! Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously damage
motor and voids warranty! See Figure 10.
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 9).
• Connect motor ground terminal to electrical service ground.
• Install and bond pump according to local codes and ordinances; use
bonding lug on motor (see Figure 9). Use solid copper conductor No. 8
AWG (8.4 sq. mm) or larger.
• 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 equip-
ment, metal piping or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the inside walls of
swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
Wiring:
• Use Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) as master on-off switch; it
will sense a short circuit to ground and disconnect power before it be-
comes dangerous to pool users. Test GFCI according to manufacturer’s
instructions.
• In case of power outage, check GFCI for tripping (which will prevent
normal water circulation); reset if necessary.
• Permanently connect pump to circuit; do not connect any other lights
or appliances to the same circuit.
• Match wire size and circuit breaker size to Table I, Page 4.
• Use wire rated at 75°C.
Voltage:
• Voltage at motor must be not more than 10% above or below motor
nameplate rated voltage or motor may overheat, causing overload trip-
ping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more
than 110% of rated voltage when motor is running at full load, consult
power company.
