What breaker do I need for pool pump?
Does a pool pump need to be on a dedicated circuit?
A dedicated circuit serves just one appliance or outlet. The reason you’d want a dedicated circuit here is because of how greedy the pump can get. If you house it on a circuit with another appliance or piece of equipment, you may end up tripping your breaker.
How do you wire a GFCI breaker for a pool pump?
(1) Install a 20 amp GFCI at the main breaker panel for the dedicated 240 line for the pool pump. Neutral wire from GFCI attaches to ground/neutral bus which is the same at the main. (2) Add 240 Disconnect by pool pump. (3) Add Intermatic PS3000 surge protector by connecting it to disconnect.
