What size breaker do I need for a 220v pool pump?
20 amp breaker
Booster pumps for pool cleaners or solar systems can be operated with 110V or 220V, and are usually connected to a separate timeclock, powered with a dedicated 15 or 20 amp breaker. The wiring of the motor is identical to the wiring for the main pool pump.
Do pool pumps need to be grounded?
Insulated ground wire is required for grounding pumps. Making a mistake grounding and bonding a swimming pool pump can be deadly. Grounding enables faster circuit breaker action, and bonding ties conductive metal parts together so they have the same electrical potential. Together, both reduce the risk of fatal shock.
Can you wire a 3-phase motor wrong?
If a 3-phase motor rotates in the wrong direction, you can swap any two leads to change to the desired direction. One way to test motor direction is to take your best guess on how to connect the leads, then run the motor and note the direction it spins. If you’re wrong, you undo two leads and swap the wires.
What gauge wire should I use for a pool pump?

Is L1 hot or neutral?
US AC power circuit wiring color codes
| Function | label | Color, common |

| Neutral | N | white |
| Line, single phase | L | black or red (2nd hot) |
| Line, 3-phase | L1 | black |
| Line, 3-phase | L2 | red |
Does a 3 phase motor need a ground?
There is a neutral in a three phase four wire system. All of them need a ground.
Does a 3 phase motor need a neutral?
The balance current in all three phases of the motor leads to no current in the neutral. Therefore, there is no need for neutral in the 3 phase induction motor.
