The red words have been stricken from the code
So, at work yesterday this was the topic of some discussion . The house we were in had a 100 amp service with a meter main mounted on the house , they had to travel about 15 feet in to locate the panel , the feeder was SER which we all know has a bare grounding conductor . Question : Could this panel supply a feeder with a properly insulated ground to a pool equipment panel board or would the SER need to be changed ? I'm thinking the NEC is not a reach back document and that the new feeder to the pool equipment panel would need to have an insulated grounding conductor but that the feeder to the house panel ,already in place can stay. Others were of the opinion it would need to be replaced .. Just looking for other thoughtful opinions . Thanks .31. Delete the Exception in 680.25(A)(1).
32. Revise 680.25(B) to read as follows:
(B) Grounding. An equipment grounding conductor shall be installed with the feeder conductors between the grounding
terminal of the pool equipment panelboard and the grounding terminal of the applicable service equipment or source of a
separately derived system. For other than (1) existing feeders covered in 680.25(A), exception, or (2) feeders to separate
buildings that do not utilize an insulated equipment grounding conductor in accordance with 680.25(B)(2), this equipment
grounding conductor shall be insulated.
