Electrical supply MUST match pump's name-
plate specification. Incorrect voltage can cause
fire or damage to the motor and voids warranty.
Motors without built-in protection MUST be
provided with contactors and thermal overloads
for single phase motors, or starters with heaters
for three phase motors. See motor nameplate.
•
Follow motor manufacturer's wiring diagram on the
motor nameplate or terminal cover carefully.
•
Use only copper wire to motor and ground. The ground
wire MUST be at least as large as the wire to the motor.
Wires should be color coded for ease of maintenance.
