I have a customer who has had a Hot tub wired, and told the electrician to pull big enough wire to be able to wire pool pump motors etc. in the future. I come out to the job and he has # 6 or # 4 wire pulled to a 4 circuit panel, with a 60 amp. GFI breaker feeding the hot tub. In order to find out if this feeder is big enough, I will have to know what size motor is in the hot tub, the motors for the pool, then add 25% for the largest motor, then add the load for the heaters on the hot tub, and the load that will be pulled by the pool light. They want 2 outlets also. Are these outlets to be figured at 180 volt/amperes per outlet? Thanks... Steve
Also when figuring the feeder for a dual voltage motor, don't you have to calculate according to the highest amp rating to determine the wire size for the feeder? Thought I read this somewhere in the code, but can't seem to find it. Thanks again .. Steve
