What is the reasoning behind requiring the feeder to have an INSULATED EGC to a NEW pool sub panel?
I understand conduit for feeders to a new pool panel are required. Existing panels for new pools meet 680.25 Exception.
I searched Mike Holt's site and read all the posts to try and find the answer as well as the commentary in the 2005 NEC Handbook and Soares '04.
Only Pierre Belarge took a guess "I am not positive, but I think it is because of the deteriorating effects of chlorine on the NM cable sheath."
Does anyone know for sure?
