Hayward Variable Speed Pump Owners Manual - Page 10

4.6. Electrical Specs 1. Voltage: 230VAC, 60Hz, Single Phase 2. Amps: 10.9 3. Speed Range: 600-3450 rpm (1000-3450 rpm for SP3400VSPVR) Use copper conductors only. For indoor & outdoor use. Connect pump to a 15 amp branch circuit in accordance with local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). A disconnecting means located at least 5 ft. from the inside wall of the pool, spa, or hot tub must be provided. 4.7. Voltage Voltage at pump MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below nameplate rated voltage, or components may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage when pump is running at full load, consult the power company. 4.8. Grounding and Bonding 1. Install, ground, bond, and wire pump in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements. 2. Permanently ground pump. Use green ground terminal provided under access plate; use size and type wire required by code. Connect ground terminal to electrical service ground. 3. Bond pump 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. 4. 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) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. 4.9. Wiring WARNING - All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). 1. 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 circuit breaker as the master On-Off switch. 2. If the EcoStar pump is being used to replace an existing pump that was controlled by a separate mechanical time clock, the EcoStar pump should be connected directly to the line power supply, bypassing the time clock. The time clock can then be used to power other equipment (such as a heater, heat pump, or booster pump) that requires the filter pump to be operating when used. If the time clock is used in this manner, it should be set to power the equipment during a time cycle when the EcoStar pump is operating at an appropriate flow rate to operate the other equipment, as defined by the timers set in the Timer Menu.
