Questions and Answers for ABB 60 Amp 8-Space 4 Circuit Spa Panel Main Lug Load Center (TL412R260GF)

Yes, the spa panel should also be fed with #6 conductors from the main service panel. Most likely 6-3 NM-B cable (aka Romex) would work for you.

Yes, you need at least #6 awg copper coming into the panel. You can go bigger if you want. #4 awg will handle a 60 amp load if you ever need to upgrade.

yes, if it is copper and within 80 feet from the panel where it is powered from to this panel.

Yes. You need #6 AWG coming in from the house to maintain the 50 or 60 amp rating. #8 is only good for 40 amps.

Most definitely. If you have a less amperage wire from house. That one will burn before the higher gauge to spa. Think of it as a piece of thread holding a rope.

Tomb2 is correct. DO NOT use a breaker larger than the manufacturer requires. While you can use the proper wire from the house to the box, the SPA WIRING IS NOT DESIGNED TO CARRY THE ADDITIONAL AMPERAGE IN THE EVENT OF A SHORT OR PUMP FAILURE!

Yes, you can always use a bigger breaker. Provided of course you use the correct size wire for the breaker, which I believe is #4 awg. When I wired my house, I used 12 awg wire for each circuit, even though I used 15 amp breakers on some circuits. l just had a great deal on the 12 awg wire.

In almost all cases the 60 amp breaker will be just fine provided you have #6 wire. I wire hundreds of hot tubs a year and wouldn't even worry about it with #6 wire.

No, buy the identical 50 amp spa panel.

Breakers protect the wire not the Spa/Hot Tub. The size of the wire determines the breaker amperage size

Yes, that is exactly what I did! I could not find a 60 amp ground fault breaker without the panel so I just bought the panel with the breaker installed. Removed it and installed the breaker in to my load center. No problem at all!

Yes

Home Depot should have a 1" hub for this. If they don't, try your local electrical supply house.

You need a GE 1"hub.

Yes, you can purchase a replacement 60 amp GFCI breaker although you probably just wired it incorrectly.

Yes you can, just make sure you have the correct size supply breaker in the main panel.

This GE spa panel accepts only GE hubs.

If you don't have 4 wires coming into your existing box, then yes, you will have to run the missing wires into the box. You need 2 hot, 1 neutral and 1 fully sheathed ground wire that must go back to the main panel. Obviously, the wires all need to be of the correct size which I believe to be #4 awg.

The 60 amp box will need to have a neutral bar and a ground bar. If is not equipped that way you may be able to add a neutral or ground bar. More importantly you will need the appropriate wire (4 wire and adequate size) coming from the main panel or you will need to replace it.

You need a 4-wire feed from the main panel, 6-3 NM-B cable will give you that. From the spa disconnect you also need 4-wires, but not any type cable of cable that would have a bare ground. The NEC requires you have an insulated grounding conductor. I would use 3 - #6 THHN/THWN conductors and 1 - #10 Green THHN/THWN grounding conductor all in non-metallic liquidtight flexible conduit.

Yes. It is important to make the load neutral connection to the breaker and not the neutral bus or it will trip.

The panel has the the spot for the neutral. As well as the ground. The breaker just handles the hot feed. In this case the red and the black.

TomB2's answer is correct. The breaker will not operate if wired incorrectly.

Yes, the GFCI breaker has 3 lugs to terminate the 2 hot wires and the neutral wire.
