Power Configurations for 780 Camden Models (North America,
60Hz)
This section describes the power configuration choices (Standard 50 Amp and Alternate
40 Amp) for Camden hot tub models.
Config. #1
Standard 50A Configuration
(factory setting)
240 VAC/50A • 3-wire configuration
(2 hots and a ground)
50A dual-pole GFCI breaker (hard
•
wired only)
Electrical current draw of 36A
•
In this Standard 50A configuration,
the heater does run if the jets pump is
running in high-speed.
Config. #2
Alternate 40A Configuration
(For homes where 240 VAC/50A power
is unavailable).
240 VAC/40A 3-wire configuration •
(2 hots and a ground)
40A dual-pole GFCI breaker (hard
•
wired only)
Electrical current draw of 26A
•
If the home’s electrical system does
not have the full 240 VAC/50A, the spa
may be connected to a 240V/40A power
source after a qualified electrician makes
a minor circuit board modification.
In this configuration, the heater does
not run while the jets pump is running in
high-speed.
Note
Wire size must meet NEC recommendations and is determined by
maximum current draw and length or run.
important: All of the alternative electrical configurations require
a qualified technician to perform minor circuit board modifications. To avoid
damage to the spa, do not activate power to the spa until these modifications
have been made. We recommend Square-D or Cutler Hammer circuit
breakers.
