2.2 Electrical Specifications
SAFETY COMES FIRST. WHEN INSTALLING & USING ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED!
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2.
Electrical installation must be completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all National, Regional
and Local Codes and Regulations in effect at the time of installation.
3.
Connect only to a dedicated circuit protected by a class ‘A’ two-pole ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
4. Use copper conductors only!
5.
The Swimspa equipment and all electrical plugs, outlets and lights within 1.5m (5ft) of the unit must be
G.F.C.I protected. Consult your electrician or local electrical authority for further details.
6.
A green colored terminal or a terminal marked “G”, “GR”, “Ground”, or “Grounding” is located inside the
supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected
to the grounding by means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire
equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
7.
At least two lugs marked
“BONDING LUGS”
are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the
supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common
bonding grid in the area of the Swimspa to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not
smaller than No.6 AWG (Canada/Europe) / No.8 AWG (USA).
8.
All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 3 m (10 ft)
of the hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than
No.6 AWG.
2.3 Wiring Size
NORTH AMERICA / EUROPE WIRE SIZE
Please consult your applicable electrical codes related
to the size of the breakers and the wire. Take into
consideration the length of the cable and increase
as required.
