That may be true but you don't have much choice. There are some electricians here who believe two-pole GFI breakers generate false trips when the neutral is actually used. You have what you need, you're good to go, don't worry about the label "common". It's one of the hots.īoth circuits need two-pole GFI breakers, both breakers will provide and handle neutral for 120V, and so long as one of your cables has the third (white) wire, your timer can take advantage of it. There is nothing special about it that you need to provide. The unswitched Hot from circuit A is called "common" because it is common to three functions: Hi, Low, and Antifreeze. The other hot leg of each circuit gets patched through directly to the device without switching. Yellow provides switched power from one hot leg of B. It requires two GFI circuits (let's call them A and B) one of which must have a neutral wire extended to the timer.īlue, Gray, Brown all provide switched power from one hot leg of A. Your timer has seven wires (Red, Yellow, Black White, Brown Gray Blue). ![]()
