I am trying to connect a pool pump to a pool timer.
The pump is a 1.5 HP hayward super pump and the timer is a Intermatic T104-P203
The motor has 1Red/1Black/1White/1bare copper wire
The electrical supply is 220V (1Red/1White/1Black/1 bare solid copper
In the timer box there are 5 terminals that are marked as such.
EDIT. I see that the timer is for a two speed motor. The wiring is different than a single speed.
You will need to look at the wiring diagram to determine exactly how to wire this unit. There are a couple varibles.
OK....I just looked at mine.
Supply side.
Black to terminal "A" in timer
Red to BOTH lines (short jumper wire installed between them)
White is not requires. Cap it off.
Load side depends on how your black, red and white are terminated in the motor.
Terminal "A" in timer to "common" in motor.
Load (#2) to low speed
Load (#4) to high speed.
Green or bare wires are tied together and landed on any green terminals or lugs that are attached to the metal enclosures.
Also, you need to have a disconnect method close by. If your pool panel is close by (in sight) the breaker will suffice. If not, you will need to install a double pole switch to kill power before the timer.
This is the wiring that is in the timer box. The Black wire from the panel box (power source) is attached to the #1 terminal screw (line 1). The Red wire from the panel box is attached to the #3 terminal screw (line 2). The White wire from the panel box is attached to the ground screw in timer box.
To what terminals do the Black/Red/White wires of the motor go?

That is incorrect. The white is extra/not applicable. The bare or green is the ground.
