How do you connect to the breaker? What size connector (lug) is needed or does it take raw wire?

It is wired similar to connecting a fuse housing unit at the battery of the vehicle. You can use o-ring connectors to help in connecting the wires to each side of the breaker. You could connect the wire straight to the breaker, but be aware that you will have exposed copper within the engine compartment, this is not recommended. Hope this helps.

I called and asked the same question about a month ago. The lady that answered the phone said they used a 30amp breaker. I used 10 gauge wire and installed a 30amp breaker and it appears to work well. I don't know if this really helped, but I have to say I have not used it more than one hour. The instructions though, have much to be desired and too light to read. Have not tried the 220v yet.

Not sure about bumping up the breaker. Good question.the supplier should know.

Its better to have it hard wired to breaker. I believe it draws close to 16amps. I had my electrician run a line from my breaker box to a disconnect box. Note, The inside unit gets its power from the outside unit. It was super easy to install Once power was to the spot I needed,

Bring it to Home Depot. Anyone in the electrical dept can show you the type of wire & outlet you'll need.

If it does not have a socket, then it should have a two wire connector that plugs together. If not, you might need to cut of the connector and just wire not the conductor together. If you are not experienced, you shod hire an electrician.

I just used the wires supplied from the unit itself. Simple 3 wire connection. There are no additional connections or additional wire needed. Simple instructions will show you where to connect them. Should you have any issues, please let me know. You will be very happy with this unit. I am. Ron, Mesa, AZPS remember to shut off A/C unit breaker before attempting to install.

You need some type of squashing tool to hold the wire into the metal connector. I just used pliers.

Assuming the circuit breaker is 20 amps, the entire circuit must be at least 12 gauge wire. You are not allowed to mix smaller gauge wires that are not designed to carry the amperage of the circuit

All that is needed is some wire (to reach from the pigtail at the light to a switch) the switch a fuse and then some connectors

The cords are to be hard wired. They are quite simple to tie into an existing connection box. Directions are readily available on the net. Be sure to turn off power to the circuit at the breaker box before doing anything.

I'm not an electrician, but my understanding is that #8 wire and a 40-amp breaker is needed. At least that's what my electrician actually installed.

Those lugs are where you insert your 110/120v power. The N is for the neutral side or the white wire, and the L is for the load side, the black wire. If you are using a grounded wire power connection, which in my opinion you should use, the ground would go on the lug just to the left of the N connection, between the -V and the N. I am not an electrician, so if you have further questions, it is recommended that you seek an answer from a licensed electrician.

Hi you can use 1/2 inch carflex or 1/2 inch cable clamps and run conduit from your "time clock" or "circulation pump switch's load connection" to the unit, and use 12 guage wires for power. (excess pool light cable works a treat) and remember it is factory wired for 220 volts. connect the wires with wire nuts on unit end pull on wires to make sure they are tight, wrap in electrical tape and connect solid copper ground from units chassis to your pool ground.

This is a hard wire unit. You must connect it to existing wiring or connect your own cord with plug.

You can just take your cable that has a round connection and just bolt it down with included bolt or if you do not have that type of wire connector you can buy a one hole or two hole lug. (In electrical panel section at Home Depot) bolt it down and attach your wire to lug.
