Hot tub electrical? Well I guess Im from the old university, (220 volt 3 wire)...
Well I guess Im from the old university, (220 volt 3 wire) 2 hot 1 ground. I recently purchased a hot tub that they said must be hooked up 220 4 cable. The 4th wire anyone a neutral, which im assuming to be a saftey factor since I will be sitting contained by 400 gallons of water....lol.
The 4 connections on the tub are undemanding enough, but when I carry to my panel, where does the indistinct go?
Best answer would be an e-mail diagram....lol
Thanks contained by advance.
Answers: Not relatively.
You will need four wires. 6AWG stranded copper. Red and Black are hot, White is nuetral. Green is ground.
See this correlation. It shows and explains how to wire your spa undamagingly. Make sure you cut off the principal CB to the service panel. But be careful, because you still own live have voltages present within a Service Panel even with foremost CB switched off. Service drop going into your service panel is HOT.

The nonpartisan bus in any panel is where on earth all of the white conducters stop. The hot tub should not need a indeterminate but if it does that is where on earth it would go. There is other a ground also. I have install a ground rod right below my hot tub purely so it would not have to depend on the ground at the panel. You should also hold a GFI installed either at the major panel or a subpanel near the hot tub.
