240v sub panel fed 4 wire?

Pretty much everything needs an equipment grounding conductor per 250.4(A)(2) & (A)(3). You don't even have to look at the wording issues with 250.32.

Here is the actual job. Homeowner pulls 240v 100amp 3 wire to a panel mounted on side of shed . Pool installer sets pum, switch leg, etc at panel area. I refuse to connect for pool guy because no egc is present. Homeowner says "his electrician" says I full of pow wow. I know it's wrong but trying to give him screenshot of code section. 250.32 says "serving building or structure" which technically this isn't.

A shed is a structure

Structure…..that which is built

He's questioning whether the shed is relevant since no power enters it; it's all only for the pool.

I say the remote panel and its support 'structure' qualifies as a structure even without the shed.

I agree

Okay but is the new panel mounted on the same structure as the main panel? Or is this pool panel on a detached structure from the main structure? Sorry I am not clear on it.

Separate building

The latest; homeowner is going to get "his" electrician to add the fourth wire after pleasing his cause for driving rods to attach to the sub panel (which I had already put a bug in the AHJ ear) and being denied.
Update when I hear back.
