Electrical Installation
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. This pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified
service professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation
will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may
also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
Note: ALWAYS reinstall the wiring cover onto the field wiring compartment when leaving the pump unsupervised. This
will prevent foreign matter (i.e. water, dust, etc.) from accumulating in the drive.
Note: When connecting the pump to an automation system, continuous power must be supplied to the pump by
connecting it directly to the circuit breaker. When using an automation system, be sure that no other lights or
appliances are on the same circuit.

Circuit Protection: Require GFCI protection device, in
accordance with all national and local electrical codes. The
drive will operate on 2-Phase Line-Line-Ground, as well as
Line-Neutral-Ground electrical systems.
Wiring
1. Ensure all appropriate electrical breakers and
switches are turned off before wiring the motor.
STORED CHARGE - Wait at least sixty (60)
seconds before servicing.
2. Ensure the supply voltage meets the requirements listed
on the motor nameplate. If these requirements are not
met, permanent motor damage may occur.
3. The pump should be permanently connected to its own
independent GFCI-protected circuit.
Note: Pentair offers 2-Pole 20 Amp GFCI breakers
(P/N PA220GF) which offer personnel protection
while meeting 2008 to current NEC Standards for
Pool Pumps.
Note: If using a two-pole relay or timer, apply and
remove power to both POWER LINE TERMINALS.
4. For wiring sizes and general electrical guidelines,
please follow the specifications defined in the National
Electric Code and any local codes as required.
5. Use strain reliefs and ensure all electrical connections
are clean and tight.
Note: Any unused conduit openings should be sealed
with the provided conduit plugs.
6. Cut all wires and conductors to appropriate lengths to
help prevent conductors from arcing or overlapping once
connected.

Grounding
1. Permanently ground the drive using the green
Ground Wire Screw and ensure the ground wire
is connected to an electrical service ground.
Bonding
1. Bond the motor to the structure in accordance
with the National Electrical Code.
2. Use a solid copper bonding conductor not
smaller than 8 AWG. For Canadian installations,
a 6 AWG or larger solid copper bonding
conductor is required.
3. Run a wire from the bonding lug, found on the
side of the motor, to the bonding structure.
Connect the wire to all metal parts of the pool,
electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal
piping within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of the inside walls of
the pool.
