Pool, Spa & Water Features

Commercial and residential pools rely on electrical systems that operate in close proximity to water, increasing risk if not properly protected. Littelfuse provides shock protection, motor control, and circuit protection solutions designed to support NEC compliance, help reduce electrical hazards, and keep pool pumps and equipment operating safely and reliably.

How Shock Block Works

The SB5000 detects leakage current and interrupts the circuit, significantly reducing or eliminating the shock potential. One key part of the additional safety features is that the SB5000 also monitors the ground wire from the SB5000 to load for continuity. If the wire is broken or becomes loose, the SB5000 will signal an alarm and de-energize the circuit in less than half of a second. detects leakage current and interrupts the circuit, significantly reducing or eliminating the shock potential.
