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

White curly wire marked with a white dot connects to neutral inside box. Supposedly no neutral need to spa. Only x2 hot and ground

Just connect the 2 hot wires at the breaker, a neutral does not need to be connected to the GFCI breaker for it to work properly.

First to make sure in what your asking. The neutral is a white wire, the ground is a bare or green wire. If your wire has only red/ black with a bare wire then you have no neutral. You need 6/3 with ground for most 240 volt systems. Sounds like you have 6/2 with a ground.You must have a neutral for your gfi to work. Do not run on the ground wire, normaly it is to small to work .

It connects in the same way. Just don't connect the neutral. You will still be protected on a 2 wire circuit.

The black and red wires get attached at the top of the breaker. The white wire from the heater gets attached to the bottom side of the breaker. The curly cue white wire that is attached to the breaker gets attached to the ground bar that has all of the white wires attached to it in your sub panel. Do not attach the curlycue white wire to the ground bar that has the copper ground wires, it will continually trip the breaker in that configuration.

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.
