List,
I recently discovered a 480 v, 3 hp, water pump, in a dog house, at one end of a 6 acre lake to be wired using, what appeared to be, 3 conductor w/ground SO cord (..not certain on this...to much alge growing on it) ran about 500 feet laying it directly on the floor of an approxiamtly 6 foot deep lake. The pump feeds water to an "upper lake" fountain and keeps water flowing over a water fall. I traced the source to a magnetic starter with properly selected heaters which is inside a buildings secondary electrcial room.
I've checked the 02 code and can't find anything that pertains to lake pump or lake fountain installations.
1)Does the 05 code address this installation?
2)Any one else have bad feelings about this installation? :shock:
