Spa Power
Hey guys,
Ive got a bit of an odd situation here... I bought a spa second hand and Ive hooked it all up to my old pool circuit but the spa heater doesnt have a plug on the end.
According to the manual it is single phase but says that it is 25amps. The highest plug Ive found is a 15amp and it just doesnt seem to add up to me. The wires are the the flat twin and earth cables which also dont fit a standard plug.
Is it just that its late at night and I cant think properly, or does something not add up?
Cheers,
M.

Possibly the spa was originally hard wired into an isolation switch?
I accept no liability or responsibility for advice offered by myself regarding Electrical or Airconditioning related questions. I strongly advise contacting a Licensed Tradeperson for all work of this nature.

Yep.........it'll have been hardwired into a 25amp circuit.....just like your average electric oven. Time to call a sparky!!
Ours is not to reason why.....only to point and giggle.
