Power Configurations for 880 Capri Models (North America, 60Hz)
This section describes the power configuration choices (Standard 50 Amp, and
Alternate 40 AMP) for Capri 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)
Maximum electrical current draw •
of 40A
In this Standard 50A configuration, the
heater does run if the jets pump and
blower are running.
Cong. #2
Alternate 40A Configuration
(For homes where 240 VAC/50A is
unavailable).
240 VAC/40A 3-wire configuration •
(2 hots and a ground)
40A dual-pole GFCI breaker (hard •
wired only)
Maximum electrical current draw •
of 26A
If the home’s electrical system does
not have the full 240 VAC/50A power
available, 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 yields
the same rapid temperature rise as in the
50A configuration, but does not run at the
same time as either of the jets pumps or
when the blower is running.
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.
