Pool equipment disconnect

[mjgilmore54]

I am trying to figure out the meaning of code 680.12. I Am installing a Main Lug (3R) panel for inground pool. It will be approximatley 10 feet from pool and have two 240 volt breakers for pumps and two 120 volt breakers for heater and pool light. Does 680.12 mean I need a Main Breaker panel to simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors or can I use a Main Lug panel as long as I have less than 6 breaker handles. Thanks for any clarification

There is not a requirement to "simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors" that feed the panel. The requirement is to "simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors" that feed equipment. Each pump can have its own breaker.

you are allowed to have up to 6 disconnects at this panel. after 6 you will need a main breaker
