gamaliel Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 i bough a hayward 1.5 hp superpump (used) and it was wired for 120v here is the deal. im looking at the terminals and were it says L1 was hot and L2 was neutral i now that to make it 240v i just have to feed L1 and L2, now what i want to know is if i have to rewire the resistor to meet the 240 voltage (i dont want to burn the resistor) im a comercial LIC. electrician we never do residential never mind pool motors. now if i was at work ill do what the wiring diagram says and feed L1 and L2 and dont worry about the rest but a guy at work told me that if it was wired for 120v to switch it to 240v i might have to rewired the resistor. is this true or should i just go and feed L1 and L2 and dont worry about the rest. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoolGuyNJ Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Did you move the jumper? It has two wires on it. At 120, only one spade lug is covered. At 240, both middle ones are. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoolGuyNJ Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 There is a jumper with two wires on it. It can cover either 1 or 2 spade lugs. For 240V use, the jumper needs to cover both lugs. For 120V, it only covers the upper lug.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoolGuyNJ Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Put the pic in a Photobucket album. Hover over the pic. 4 Options pop up. Click on the 4th option and paste it here. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Spa Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I believe all that's needed is to move the black trace wire to a different terminal. There should be a label on the outside of the motor similar to what's below. Can you get a pic of it and upload it? I should have the wiring instructions on it.

Bugman1400 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Please take a few more pictures.......one of the label and another two of the wiring again but, from another angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
