My question is GFCI protection required in this situation. I can't find what category this fits or maybe im trying to hard to fit it. IMO opinion I think all of these circuits need GFCI protection but i cannot find it in code. Help please!

Outdoor100amp Service disconnect/panel placed on an outdoor light pole. The 4 circuits feed under a parking lot about 60 ft to the ATM pad, 30amp ATM power direct wire, 2 Light poles controlled by photo cell, and some flood lights around the machine, router power, surge suppressor

I on the other hand don't think any of this requires GFI protection, and, if you do put in a GFI circuit for that ATM, and, I'm the one using it when it trips, I'm not moving until you show up to reset it.

I don't care how many horns are honkin,,,,, :)

I was just thinking outdoors with people constantly touching it that there may be shock potential. I guess I am pounding the square peg in round hole

I agree with jap. I inow od no requirement for GFCI.
With hardwired equipment and proper grounding the need for GFCI is greatly diminished.

You're not too far off base,,,, I know I hugged my new washer and dryer for at least 3 days straight after exhausting every attempt at reviving my old worn out units,,,,....

It's saved me many a time, and at least helped me with troubleshooting. A great addition to the house library, but JMO!
