What do you think of my post Pierre about 210.50?? I do agree that 430.83 (A)(2) adresses the circuit breaker as the controller.
disconnect for above ground pool

That is correct Bob.I agree that a cap and cord are fine for maintenance disconnecting,but using it as a controller is very poor design.Thank you for pointing out that it is a violation.
Doesn't 430.81(A) limit the use of the breaker as the controller to a 1/8hp motor?
Yeah but he was really thinking of controlling the motor.
I know, and I am very shocked it happened here. :grin:

Hey, Bob
Don't be upset about the Yanks taking the division. I am sure the Yanks and Boston will be seeing each other again very soon.

Sorry I am missing your point, I am fully aware of the section you posted. :-?
You posted 430.83(A)(2) which is about using a breaker as the controller which is allowed, which I have not disagreed with.
I have been saying it is a code legal, yet poor design to leave the HO with virtually no choice but to use the cord and plug as the controller when doing pool maintenance tasks.

I cannot speak for other jurisdictions, but I cannot remember seeing a switch at pool pump locations when they are cord & plug connected. I do not see that as such a bad design.

I have a twistlock receptacle and no switch on my pool. I guess that is the controlller. No switch, no big deal.

You don't think almost forcing the HO to violate the safety rules of the NEC is a bad design.
Having had pools while growing up, and service pools as a teenager I think not having a switch right beside the other pool controls is extremely poor design.

I see it all the time.A switch to control the receptical.
