Ground pump and motor in accordance with
the local codes and ordinances. Use a copper
ground wire at least as large as wires carrying
current to motor.
Motor is supplied with a copper ground wire.
Splice this ground wire to a copper conductor that
matches motor wire size specified in Table III. See
Page 5 for wire splicing instructions.
Permanently ground pump, motor and control box
before connecting power cable to power supply.
Connect ground wire to approved ground first and
then connect to equipment being installed.
do not ground to a gas supply line.
Fire and electrical shock hazard. If
using a drop wire larger than No. 10 (5.5mm
example, No. 8 (8.4mm
) wire) between pump and
2
control box, run wire to a separate junction box.
Connect junction box to control box with a No.
10 (5.5mm
) or smaller wire (depending on amp
2
rating of pump – see Table III).
For more information, contact your local code
officials.
WIRING CONNECTIONS:
All wiring must meet National Electrical Code or
Canadian Electrical Code and local code require-
ments. Use only copper wire when making connec-
tions to pump and control box.
To avoid over-heating wire and excessive voltage
drop at motor, be sure that wire size is at least as
large as size listed in Table III for your horsepower
pump and length of wire run.
NOTICE When built-in overheating protection
is not provided, use with an approved overload
equipped motor control that matches motor input in
full load amps. Select or adjust overload element(s)
in accordance with control instructions. When
built-in overheating protection is provided, use
with an approved motor control that matches motor
input in full load amperes.

All cable lengths meet NEC for jacketed 60°C copper cable. Based on 3-Wire Induction Run requirements; Capacitor Run requirements may vary. Local
code requirements may vary. For aluminum cable, go up two sizes from chart (for example, if the chart calls for No. 10 AWG (6mm
No. 8 AWG (10mm
2
) for aluminum; the smaller the number, the larger the cable). Use oxidation inhibitors on the connections.
