based on the 2005 NEC, do you have to take the #8 bondng from the pool shell to the nearest grounding electrode or the service equipment, the nearest motor the freakin sub panel? I say it is not required to be taken to the service equip or the motor or the sub panel, I am confused about the grounding electrode (ground rod) If you were asked a question like this and you chose the ground rod would this be incorrect, I based it on the FPN in the section on pools.

Regarding FPNs: See 90.5(C).

Everything you need to know is under 680.26 Bonding, also read the FPN: under 680.26 (A)

Thanks, I understand that it is for equipotential only, To be honest with you, the question I was asked was: Do you run the the #8 bond back to:
a)the service equipment
b)the subpanel
c)the motor
d) the nearest ground rod

based on the picture, the ground rod or the motor was right. there are no plans to review so I am assuming the motor may aso be in this equipotential area. I can only have one correct answer, I still don't know which one that is.

Based on the graphic, where is the ground rod?

Is this a test question? Read 680.26 and you tell me what the correct answer is....
 
680.26

680.26

"This section does not require tat the #8 AWG or larger solid copper bonding conductor be extended or attached to any REMOTE panelboard,service equipment or ANY electrode."

And yes, this is a test question. with no plans. I typo'd above and meant to say that the electrode is not to be used. So............... based on the answers, the motor is the correct answer, I was wrong to choose the rod.

Which of these:

a)the service equipment
b)the subpanel
c)the motor
d) the nearest ground rod

falls under 680.26? I gave you the code section, now find your answer. this will never get easier if you don't attempt to look stuff up.
 
yup, you re right, I kept skipping over it and remained focused on the requirements of 680.26 B and got frustrated to soon. I never even stopped to read number four.
