bonding wire to a motor

[insparks]

This electrician does not know where he can bond this bonding lug to, maybe somebody could help me tell him where he can bond this motor.

If this is for a swimming pool or a hot tub it should be bonded to the pool equipotential bonding system. I don't see a lug in the picture.

It does not have a lug perse'...it is a loop over type lug and I believe you are correct in that it is for a pool or a spa installation. Zoom in on the picture you will see the bonding notice and the method of using the supplied loop over clamp.

Thanks Paul-- I see it now.

Looks like pool pump. If the electrician does not know how to bond it he needs to keep hands off. 680 is not that long to read

Is this a trick question? It's right there in the photo in black and white: BONDING LUG

It?s for a swimming pool. Now since they can?t make a connection between the swimming pool bonding grid and I don?t think they have an equipment grounding system for the premises can they connect to the equipment grounding conductor of the motor circuit?

No. The purpose of the lug is to connect the pump and allmetal parts of the pool so they are at the same potential. They do not get connected to anything electrical.

Why can't they make a connection to the pool bonding grid ?

At any rate, you need to get someone over there that knows what they are doing , the

wiring of pools is not a guessing game.

I agree, my tolerance for DIYs ends at pools.

After reading the OP I thought this was a rhetorical question. After realizing you're serious I have the same advice others gave you: get a qualified electrician who knows.

Water and electric kill. If this is something your trying to do on your own please stop. Pools are not a joke

Remember about 40 years ago when you could just drive a rod ?

 

[insparks]

They still drive ground rods for jacuzzi tubs and use it as a bonding source in El Paso, Texas
