Pool pump circuit require gfci or not

Under the '17, No.
680.21 applies to single phase pump motors only,
3 phase motors were added in later Codes.
 
The pump which is 208V three phase, direct wired also draws water from man made river and dumps it into pool and also it circulates pool water.

For man made river part which is Not a pol is there any requirements for gfci in NEC 2017 or not?

Nevermind i see it in NEC 2020. Below is script

2020 Code Language:

680.21(C) GFCI Protection. Outlets supplying all pool motors on branch circuits rated 150 volts or less to ground and 60 amperes or less, single- or 3-phase, shall be provided with Class A ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection.

Exception: Listed low-voltage motors not requiring grounding, with ratings not exceeding the low-voltage contact limit that are supplied by listed transformers or power supplies that comply with 680.23(A)(2), shall be permitted to be installed without GFCI protection.

N 680.21(D) Pool Pump Motor Replacement. Where a pool pump motor in 680.21(C) is replaced for maintenance or repair, the replacement pump motor shall be provided with ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection.


Just curious how does one determine branch circuit rating for pump in op#1 should we have NEC 2020? The pump is being fed from 150A breaker at 208V three phase
