ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Wiring pool off Hot tub panel

Greg, I checked the hot tub today. The amp rating on the cover said 24/34. I don't know what the 34 was, because there was only one voltage rating (240 volts). I don't know why they put a 60 amp breaker ahead of this, unless they were allowing for the "start up". I took the biggest motor which was a 3/4 hp that had a nameplate of 6.4 amps at 240 volts X 125% = 8 amps
plus the other cleaner motor at FLA = 5.5amps
plus the hot tub FLA of 34 amps( ? )=34.0
Total amps 47.5 **
This still leaves some for the pool light
and recpts.
#6thhn in the 60 degree column is good for 55 amps. If the terminations on the panel are listed for at least 75 degree, and I'm sure they are, I can use the 75 degree table which allows me 65 amps. Am I correct? Thanks.. Steve
