VOLTAGE
Voltage at motor MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below motor name plate rated voltage, or motor may
overheat, causing overload tripping 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.
GROUNDING AND BONDING
•
Install, ground, bond, and wire motor in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements.
•
Permanently ground motor. Use green ground terminal provided under motor canopy or access place; use
size and type wire required by code. Connect motor ground terminal to electrical service ground.
•
Bond motor to pool structure. Bonding will connect all metal parts within and around the pool with a
continuous wire. Bonding reduces the risk of a current passing between bonded metal objects, which could
potentially cause electrical shock if grounded or shorted.
Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards
including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and general wiring procedures.
•
Use a solid copper conductor, per code. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh.
Connect per code solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing
and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping
(except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
CHANGING THE VOLTAGE
•
Pump is preset to 230V. If your power source is 115V, open the
back of the motor housing. Use pliers to switch plugs following the
steps to the right in order to match the 115V diagram below.
•
While set for 230V the brown wire may still have current. It must
stay grounded in position 6 to avoid touching other contacts.
