Here is one of mine:
Log #2750
NEC-P17
17-76 - ( 680-21 (A)(4)):
SUBMITTER: Bill Addiss
Electrical Contractor Network
RECOMMENDATION:
Add sentence to the end of 680.21(A)(4):
GFCI protection shall be provided for all Pool-associated motors installed at One Family Dwellings.
SUBSTANTIATION:
Requiring GFCI protection for all Pool associated motors installed at, or in, One Family Dwellings would increase overall safety and discourage the practice of hard wiring that some may do to avoid the cost of providing GFCI protection. It has been my observation that most hard-wired pump installations located at One-Family dwellings will eventually become hazardous because of disconnection and reconnection by less than qualified persons during servicing or winterizing procedures.
