Preparing to do a pool installation and I want to be clear on the requirements for an insulated egc. I will be coming out of a subpanel located in the garage (accessory building). There will be a run in the garage of about 25'. At the end of this run I'm planning on installing a J-box and from here running non-metallic rigid underground to the pool motor. I know I'm required to run an insulated EGC in the raceway to the motor in addition to the ground located in the UF.
My question: from the J-Box located in the garage back to the subpanel is the bare EGC located in the 12-2romex permitted by 680.21(4) or do I need to continue the run of the 12awg insulated ground? I feel the bare egc in the romex is fine. Your thoughts?
