115V AC Wiring Instructions for FR600 / SD600 AC Fuel Transfer Pumps
• All pumps will operate at the rated nameplate voltage.
• AC power should be supplied to the pump from a dedicated circuit with a 15 amp circuit protection. No other
• Wiring must be of sufficient size to carry the correct current for the pump.
• Voltage drop will vary with distance to pump and size of wire; refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) or local codes
• Ensure proper grounding to avoid electrocution.
• Each Tuthill motor is labeled as explosion-proof for hazardous locations Class I / Division 1. It is highly recommended
• Electrical wiring should be performed ONLY by a licensed electrician in compliance with local, state, and national
• Ground wire in supply wiring MUST be connected to the ground screw inside the junction box.
Voltage drop in wiring varies depending on the distance from the electrical source to the pump and the gauge of the wire
used. Tuthill recommends referring to national, international, or local electrical codes to ensure the wire is of the correct
size for your application. The following chart is to be used as a reference and is not a substitute to electrical codes.
