Pool panel

[Jimmy7]

I’ve seen the #8 pool bond run back a couple times to the pool subpanel now. Am I correct and saying it is not required, but not prohibited either?

680.26(B) states:

"An 8 AWG or larger solid copper bonding conductor provided to reduce voltage gradients in the pool area shall not be required to be extended or attached to remote panelboards, service equipment, or electrodes."

Not required, but no prohibited then either if someone did it as I seen, correct

Yes it is not prohibited, just a waste of time, material, and money.

I agree. I have seen it twice recently

And usually the same guy that does this, drives a rod at the panel also.

I've had inspectors tell me they want the panels bonded, transformers bonded, everything metallic at the equipment. Others have said not needed.
I never know what to expect anymore.

The ones saying you need to extend the equipotential bonding conductor to a panel or other equipment need to brush up on Article 680.

I'll tell them that and wait for their response.......
