consult electrician to inspect and repair electrical system.
WARNING Fire Hazard.
5.
Match supply voltage to motor nameplate voltage.
Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with the motor’s voltage, phase, and cycle, and that the wire size is
adequate for the H.P. (KW) rating and distance from the power source.
NOTE - All electrical wiring MUST be performed by a licensed electrician, and MUST conform to local codes
and NEC regulations. Use copper conductors only.
6.
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.
7.
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, size 8 or larger. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh.
Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor
housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping),
and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool.
WARNING All wiring must be done by a licensed electrician.
8.
Wiring
Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure
to add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. 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
manufacturer’s instructions. In case of a power outage, check GFCI for tripping, which may prevent normal pump
operation. Reset if necessary.
CONNECT ONLY TO A GROUNDING RECEPTACLE PROTECTED BY A TYPE ‘’A’’ GROUND FAULT
CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER。(GFCI)
NOTE - 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. A wiring diagram is attached on motors for permanently-connected models.
CAUTION：For continued protection against possible electric shock use only original replacement parts
when servicing.
