AstralPool Electrical Short or Earth Leakage

Pump trips the circuit breaker or RCD immediately when turned on.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Water inside motor terminal box, Shorted motor windings, Damaged supply cable, Faulty internal power board

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips instantly. Turn off the breaker and leave it off. Risk of fire or shock is high.

Visual inspection: With power off, inspect the motor and cable for visible damage, burn marks or water ingress.
Dry environment: If the pump area is wet, dry it thoroughly and correct any drainage issues before further testing.
Call a professional: An electrician or pool technician should perform insulation resistance and continuity tests to locate the fault.
