JW,

This is a little off the track,If elec5555 installs a fused disconnect for the pump,will that make the supply to the disc. FEEDERS and the rest branch circuit conductors?

680.25 Feeders.
(A) Wiring Methods. Feeders shall be installed in rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, liquidtight, flexible nonmetallic conduit, or rigid nonmetallic conduit. Electrical metallic tubing shall be permitted where installed on or within a building, and electrical nonmetallic tubing shall be permitted where installed within a building.

(B) Grounding. An equipment grounding conductor shall be installed with the feeder conductors between the grounding terminal of the pool equipment panelboard and the grounding terminal of the????.. this equipment grounding conductor shall be insulated.

(1) Size. This conductor shall be sized in accordance with 250.122 but not smaller than 12 AWG.
Does this help with understanding how to install feeders?
Notice that when we install feeders we now have to run the conductors in pipe all the way to the service.
We would be better off installing a no fuse at the pool.
