Hello, I am going to replace a pool pump that was installed many moons ago. Therfore I will be updating the electrical intallation. Currently the home owner has the pump pluged into a Non GFCI receptacle on his wall!! Anyways, my question is are these pool pumps internally protected from overload conditions or am I going to have to have some kind of starter for it? The pump is dual voltage 115/240. I have no experience with pool pumps but do know that it will need to be permantly connected on a Class A GFCI circuit.

Thanks!
