Electrical Installation; Wiring, Grounding And Bonding - Pentair IntelliFlo Installation And User Manual

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 drive lid onto the field wiring compartment when leaving the pump unsupervised during
servicing. This will prevent foreign matter (i.e. rainwater, dust, etc.) from accumulating in the drive.
Note: When connecting the pump to a Pentair 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.
Wiring
1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned
off before wiring motor.
STORED CHARGE - Wait at least sixty
(60) seconds before servicing.
2. Be sure that the supply voltage meets the requirements
listed on the motor nameplate. If these requirements
are not met, permanent motor damage may occur.
3. For wiring sizes and general guidelines for proper
electrical installation, please follow the specifications
defined in the National Electric Code and any local
codes as required.
4. Use strain relief and be sure all electrical connections
are clean and tight.
5. Cut the wires to the appropriate length so they do
not overlap or touch when connected.
6. Reinstall the keypad cover after wiring the pump
by plugging the cover back into the drive wiring
connection and re-seating the keypad cover in the
desired orientation with the four (4) corner screws.
Note: Ensure that the keypad cable is not pinched
between the drive and keypad cover during re-seating.

Grounding
1. Permanently ground the motor using the green ground
screw, as shown below. Use the correct wire size and
type specified by National Electrical Code. Be sure
the ground wire is connected to an electrical service
ground.
2. The pump should be permanently connected to either
a circuit breaker, 2-pole timer or 2-pole relay.
Note: If AC power is supplied by a GFCI circuit breaker,
the pump should be wired on its own independent
circuit unless the pump is operated in tandem
with a Pentair salt chlorine generator.
Bonding
1. Bond the motor to the structure in accordance with the
National Electrical Code. 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. Run a wire from the external
bonding screw or lug to the bonding structure.
2. Connect the wire from the accessible bonding lug on
the motor to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa,
or hot tub structure and to all electrical equipment,
metal conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet (1.52
meters) of the inside walls of the swimming pool,
spa, or hot tub. Run a wire from the external bonding
screw or lug to the bonding structure.
Note: When the pump is started and stopped by removing
power with a relay or timer, a two-pole device should
be used to apply and remove power to both POWER
LINE TERMINALS.
Drive Wiring
Pentair offers 2-Pole 20 Amp GFCI breakers (P/N
Connection
PA220GF) which offer personnel protection while
meeting 2008 to current NEC Standards for Pool
Pumps.
