Jacuzzi JVSP 150 electrical draw

[farmo83]

Hi

I have the above mentioned pump and am trying to find how many amps the pump draws. It's not listed in the owners manual nor have I been able to locate it elsewhere on line. If this avenue fails I will invest in a clamp meter.

What horsepower is it?

Variable speed pump will draw variable amps depending on speed. Why do you want to know?

1.5 hp runs a 240 breaker 20 amp breaker.

The pool it's own a sub panel. I'm trying to see how much load is really on the panel as we would like to add a few other lights.

There should be a data plate on the motor for the amps to be used for load calculations. Actual amps used will vary with pump speed.

Most 1.5 hp pumps draw between 1500-1900 watts per hour.
