Pool Lite Conduit Depth

[george t. everett]

Table 300-5 allows Residential branch circuits rated 120 volts, GFI protected, Max 20 amp OCP to be buried a minimum of 12 inches. Does this apply to conduits feeding wet niche fixtures in a swimming pool?

Table 680.10 shows RNC to be installed at 18 inches. I am not sure, but I would think most are supplying pool lights with RNC.

yes you can use table 300.5 for that pool light conduit, IMO table 680.10 applies to underground conduit that does not supply pool equipment

George,

Outside of the 5' area 300.5 applies, inside of the 5' area, using the space

limatation provision, T 680.10 kicks in.
