Reluctant pool guy Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Putting in inground pool. Pump comes factory wired for 230v. Installed 2 SqD Homeline GFCI 20amp breakers w/#10 wire to a 2-pole commercial grade switch to turn motor off/on. Breakers trip immediately when trying to “bump” motor. Also uncertain if my son didn’t get windings of motor wet being overzealous w/hose washing concrete. Should I dry motor w/het gun/blow dryer?
