  If your Neptune Swimming Pool Pump motor stalls, there could be several reasons: * An overloaded motor: Disconnect electrical power and check if the pump rotates freely. * Low voltage: Ensure the motor voltage under load matches the nameplate requirements at the conduit box connection terminals. * Breaker trip: A current overload might be tripping the breaker. A qualified electrician should verify that the breaker's rating is properly sized for the motor's current rating, according to the National Electrical Code.
