Follow diagram on the tag. typically low voltage and high voltage volt are diagramed on the tag. Most manufactures send pumps out already for 220. the A and B terminals are for pump wires. and the lines are for the power cord. follow the diagram and you can't go wrong;

New pool pump motor governor keeps tripping under load

READ ALL .. sounds like your power is 120 v, check with meter on L1-L2 . if it says 230-240v the switch might be lose or there is just way too much back pressure OR the impeller is too big for the motor OR the shaft seal is installed wrong, when spinning the impeller by hand "snap of the wrist " it should almost make a full turn.

240v circuit to 120v pool pump

Listen - you had three wires feeding your old 240 volt pump. Two were hot and one was a ground. To run your new 120 volt motor just connect one of the two hots to the motor along with the ground. Cap off the remaining hot wire so nada bad happens and you are good to go.

I need a wiring diagram for hayward pool filter model K48m2n11b3

Are you trying to wire a pool pump?
I found manuals at the Haywood site > I saw nothing for K48m2n11b or anything close to that number
http://www.haywardnet.com/inground/products/manuals.cfm

But lets work on the problem and see if I can give you some help:

After opening a few manual and searching for the word 'volt' and 'pump' ... each manual talks about 'pumps' generically, as if the pump is a separate purchase item.

Lower down on the manual page they have a list of pool pumps. A search for the word 'volt' inside the pump manuals says 'match supply voltage to motor nameplate voltage.'

As you know, each electric device has a label showing voltage, wattage, etc. Your pump should show 120Volts or 240V. I didn't see any mention of 3 phase wiring, so I assume your Haywood pump runs on typical residential wiring? And that you are not using 440Volt or 3 phase.

The 120Volt pump will have a black, white and bare ground.
The 240Volt pump will probably have a black, white, red and bare ground
The 240Volt pump could have a black white and bare ground

First the 120V pump:
The 120Volt line from your breaker box will have a black Hot wire, white Neutral wire and bare ground >>> this wire connects color-to-color with pool pump

Next the 240V pump with black, white, red and bare ground
a) The 240Volt line from your breaker box can have the same 4 wires, in which case they connect color-to-color
b) The 240Volt line from your breaker box could have a black white and bare ground, in which case the black goes to black, the white goes to red, the bare coppers are connected, the white pump wire is capped off and not used. If pump does not operate with this wiring, another line from the breaker with wires that match pump might be necessary.

The 240V pump with black white and bare ground
a) The 240Volt line from breaker can have black, white, red and bare ground, in which case the black goes to black, the red goes to white, bare grounds are connected, the white wire is capped off
b) The 240Volt line from from breaker can have black white and bare ground, and this connects color-to-color to the pump

HOW do you know if line from breaker is 120V or 240V?
If you know which breaker wire is connected to, then it's easy
If you do not know which breaker
-turn off power
-separate wires so they can be tested
-use ordinary tester
-stand on dry boards
-tape tester leads to sticks so hands are away from power

-turn on power
-test each wire to bare copper
-tester lights up on Hot wire
-120V line will have 1 Hot wire
-240V line will have 2 Hot wires

I am replacing my pool pump from a hayward to an emerson and need help with the wiring

TURN OFF THE BREAKER FIRST!!! Green is always Ground. L1 and L2 are Hot. Verify if you have 120v ,or 240v before you hook up the wires. The label on the motor will tell you how to change to 120v (low voltage) if needed.

Is the pump 120V or 220V? 120V you will need a 20 A breaker. 220V you will only need a 15 A breaker.

I installed a new pump, motor and timer, but the

Be sure you are actually one the L1 and L2 posts and/or screws. On some of the motors there is a third quick connect tab that is not used when set for 230V lines but if you connect one of your incoming line leads to it the motor wont work. If that is not the case, be sure you have a resistance reading somewhere close to 1 ohm across the L1 & L2 terminals. If you get infinite, there is a problem with the motor. I assume the motor is completely silent when you turn on the switch? If not and it is humming but not starting, have the capacitor checked and if necessary, the motor start switch and winding.

My power cord was cut, positioning for new positive and ground and negative wires are needed

If you're running 120v, the hot lead goes on the brass colored terminal and the silver is the nuetral and the green is ground.

for 240v. you'll have a red hot and a black hot... and then a white neutral and a ground as well. Ground goes to a screw terminal on the motor housing,
