Good morning all.
Reading around article 680.
My question is for a single circuit supplying a plug in pool pump (and maybe a polaris), does that ground need to be insulated (not UF).
I remember that for spas/hot tubs regular wiring methods can be used in the building (not insulated ground), but then the ground needs to be insulated when going outside to the spa/hot tub.
I'm reading that feeders to pool equipment need an insulated ground, but I can't locate if a single circuit (to a recpt or two) needs an insulated ground.
Just to add to the question.
If a single circuit (or even two.... lets say someone brought out a 12 or 10 - 3 UF to the pump area) does not require an isolated ground to a receptacle or receptacles.
If a person where to put overcurrent protection at the load of those conductors............would they then be turning those circuits into a feeder and would then require an insulated ground?
Gotta look at a small job tomorrow. There is an existing pool pump (receptacle) that I believe someone also added a polaris to and the polaris box is smoking.
Just got me thinking if I see UF to the recept.......and the insulated ground....
Which got me thinking about aliitle pool house I saw with 12-2 uf feeding a trough to disconnects feeding some pool pump equipment and lighting (eg: by definition I believe
now would be considered a feeder.not a circuit.......correct?).
Thank you.
