jwelectric --I am not sure what you mean by no seal in a deck box for a pool light stop air infiltration.

and about 430.83

what about the motor controller. how do you prevent power to the time clock to service. if breaker is out of sight. I have heard about homeowners turning the power back on by mistake and shocking the electrician.
 
430.102 states that a disconnect shall be insight of the controller and motor.

If this clock has a switch that disconnects all ungrounded conductors that is with-in sight of the clock and motor then you have fulfilled the code requirement of the disconnect.

Personally I don?t see the time clock as a motor controller but a device to control the circuit.

430.83 states that a switch can be the disconnect for the motor

It disconnects the motor for the pool but not the time it self of feed to.
I have seen some pretty bad things like while working on items like this the HO would help by turning on breaker.Buzzzzz

I don't think so...look at 430.109.

430.109 (C) Stationary Motors of 2 Horsepower or Less For stationary motors rated at 2 hp or less and 300 volts or less, the disconnecting means shall be permitted to be one of the devices specified in (1), (2), or (3):
(1) A general-use switch having an ampere rating not less than twice the full-load current rating of the motor
(2) On ac circuits, a general-use snap switch suitable only for use on ac (not general-use ac?dc snap switches) where the motor full-load current rating is not more than 80 percent of the ampere rating of the switch
(3) A listed manual motor controller having a horsepower rating not less than the rating of the motor and marked ``Suitable as Motor Disconnect''

Why can a switch not work?
:)
