Electrical Wiring Installation

To connect the pump to an AC power source:
1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.
2. Be sure that the supply line voltage matches the motor voltage listed on the motor plate
(example 230 VAC or 115 VAC). If they do not match, permanent motor damage may occur.
3. Use #12 AWG for wire runs up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) and #10 AWG for lengths longer
than 100 feet (30.5 meters). When in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire.
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. Permanently ground the motor using the green ground wire. Use the correct wire size and
type specifi ed by National Electrical Code. Make sure the ground wire is connected to an
electrical service ground.
7. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the National Electrical Code. UL
requires use of a solid copper bonding conductor not smaller than 8 AWG. Run a wire from
the external bonding screw or lug to the pool bonding structure.
8. Connect the wire from the accessible wire connector 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 of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. For
Canada, a 6 AWG or larger solid copper bonding conductor is required.
Pentair offers a selection of 1 and 2-Pole GFCI breakers which offer 6 milliamp personnel
protection while meeting NEC 2008 Standards for Pool Pumps.
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.
