Swimming Pools Convenience Outlet

[frank_n]

Can the convenience outlet for a swimming pool as defined by 680.22(3) be on the same circuit as the receptacle for the pump?

I cannot find anything in the code to prevent this.

210.23.

It is not that 210.23 prevents this installation, it would prevent it if the pool pump motor draws more than 10 amps.

Frank, 680.22 (a)(3) Requires the convenience outlet to be "on a general purpose branch circuit". To me the pump circuit is not a general purpose branch circuit. In my opinion I think the intent is that the outlet would not be allowed on the same circuit as the pump.

Thank you. I know it is generally not on the same branch circuit, but I wanted to find it in the code book.
