ABSTRACT:
A module and method are disclosed for adding an electrical device such as a timer to an existing electric motor such as that found in a whirlpool bath system for driving a water pump. The module includes an input connector configured for mating with a connector on a power cable, an output connector configured for mating with a power connector on the electric motor, and a timer electrically connected between the input and output connectors. The method of adding an electrical device to an existing electric motor using the module comprises the steps of removing the power cable connector from the motor power connector, connecting the module output connector to the motor power connector, and connecting the power cable connector to the module input connector. In this manner, an electrical device which is prewired between the module connectors can be coupled to an existing electric motor without the use of tools, without the aid of an electrician, and without any risk of serious electrical shock.
