I have a hot tub to wire. Have not done one in a while so I am brushing up on the code. We are on 2020.
I know any chapter 3 wiring method is ok in a dwelling. I have an existing sub-panel I want to come out of. The panel is fed 3 wire (2H, 1N) Emt equipment ground. I am assuming this is ok.?
Related to this, I can't find the (old) requirement for an INSULATED equipment ground between the hot tub and the hot tub panel, is this still required? From what I read it is only required in corrosive locations?
What I am getting is that if it is listed and labeled for outdoor use (it is going outdoors)
that :
Disconnect required by 680:13 within site at least 5' from pool
Disconnect not required in a one family dwelling 680:41 ???? I am putting one in, just wondering
General use 120 v GFCI between 6' and 20' of hot tub 680:22 A 1
No lighting overhead 5' from any edge of the pool to a height of 12' 680:22 B 1
Outdoor installations comply with par 1, 2 and 4 of article 680
Equipotential bonding not required 680:42 B 1,2,3,4 if requirements are met
I am still digging through this but I thing those are the questions I have for now.
Thanks
