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 an automation system (IntelliTouch
IntelliComm Communication Center), 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 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 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 ft. (1.5 m) 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.
Pentair offers 2-Pole 20 Amp GFCI breakers
(P/N PA220GF) which offer 6 milliamp personnel
protection while meeting 2008 to current NEC
Standards for Pool Pumps.
