Voltage Verification - Most G.F.C.I. Problems Are Due To Low Voltage

IMPORTANT:
IF THE VOLTAGE IS NOT WITHIN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE, CALL AN ELECTRICIAN

OR THE LOCAL ELECTRIC COMPANY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

CHECK THE VOLTAGES AT:

1. Breaker Box Voltage Check
2. G.F.C.I. Line-In Voltage Check.
3. G.F.C.I. Load Out Voltage Check
4. System Box Check At Tb1

CHECK UNDER PEAK LOADS -- TWO TYPES OF PEAK LOADS

1. Spa System Peak Loads - Pumps, Heater, Blower & Light On
2. Household Peak Loads - May Be In Afternoon On Hot Day

Use Recording Meter If Possible - Records Max & Min Volts

Same Procedure For Other Functions

Jets, Blower, Heater, Time, Program, Mode, Etc.

Voltage Checks: Breaker Box, G.F.C.I. & System Box

When checking for proper voltage, keep in mind that the acceptable voltage range is + 10% of the recommended voltage.
Acceptable voltage when 120 V is specified is between 108 and 132 V.
Acceptable voltage when 240 V is specified is between 216 and 264 V.
Diagrams are on the following pages.

120 VOLT SYSTEMS - 120V ± 10% - 108V - 132V
240 VOLT SYSTEMS - 240V ± 10% - 216V - 264V

No More Than 2% (5 Volt AC) Difference Between Voltage
at the Breaker Panel And Voltage at the System.
