EUROPEAN ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENT’S
HAVE YOUR ELECTRICIAN READ THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS
Electrical connections made improperly, or the use of wire incorrectly
sized, may continually blow fuses in the electrical equipment box, may
damage the internal electrical controls and components. Any of these
conditions may be unsafe and will void the warranty.
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure that electrical
connections are made by a qualified electrician in accordance with the
National Electrical code / IEC and any local and state electrical codes
in force at the time of installation.
These connections must be made in accordance with the wiring
diagrams found inside the control box. This equipment has been
designed to operate on 50Hz, alternating current only, 230 volts
are required. Make sure that power is not applied while performing
electrical installation. A copper bonding lug has been provided on the
electrical equipment pack to allow connection to local ground points.
The ground wire must be at least 10 AWG copper wire and must
be connected securely to a grounded metal surface such as a cold
water pipe. The electrical supply for your spa must include a 32 AMP
switch or circuit breaker to open all non-grounded supply conductors
to comply with section 422-20 of the National Electrical code / IEC.
This disconnect must be readily accessible to the spas occupants,
but installed at least five feet from the spa but within sight. A ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) must be used to comply with section
680-42 of the National Electrical code / IEC. A GFCI is designed to
automatically shut off power to a piece of equipment when a current
fault is detected.
Power hook-up to the spa must be a 230 volt 4 wire plus ground (10
AWG copper) (Where 3 phase power is used)
Route the cable into the equipment area for final hookup to terminals
inside the control panel. The spa must be hooked up to a “dedicated”
230 volt, 32 amp breaker and GFCI. The term “dedicated” means the
electrical circuit for the spa is not being used for any other electrical items
(patio lights, appliances, garage circuits, etc.) If the spa is connected
to a non-dedicated circuit, overloading will result in “nuisance tripping”
which requires resetting of the breaker switch located in the house
main electrical panel.
