I am replacing our swimming pool pump and I am a little confused with the electrical connections. It is a single phase 0.33 HP 230 v motor sold through a UK retailer but made in Spain.
The connection box has a choc-box connector with three terminals. On the pump side the connections are coloured black, white and blue. On the connection digram it states that for Heat Protector Switch On use live and neutral into terminals 1 and 2, and for Heat Protector Switch Off use terminals 2 and 3.
Is this just a choice I make, whether to have Heat Protection on or off, or mandatory depending on whether the motor has heat protection or not? I don't know whether the motor has a heat protection switch or not.
On the user connection side of terminals 1 and 2 there are two very thin insuated wires that go through the cable in port in the connection box where they are then cut off. What are these for? Are they a hint, or where the motor was tested, or what?
