article 680 swimming pools

New postby Dryden on Tue May 22, 2012 7:44 pm

An inground swimming pool with a spa ,light, filter motor , circulating motor and disinfectant light is served by a computer controlled sub panel with (3) 2 pole 20 amp circuit breakers and (2) 1 pole circuit breakers. None of these are GFCI circuit breakers. GFCI protection is from the main panel by way of a 50 amp 2 pole GFCI . Is this correct

Everything is still GFCI protected, whether the GFCI protection is at the service equipment/preceding upstream panel or whether the GFCI protection is at the pool panel.

Protecting the pool panel is good.
