Insulated ground.

[randalyto]

Hello guys , this is my first time I use this service and I hope you can help me, this is my question : I have to set a sub-panel from the main house to the pool house and I am going to feed all the pool equipment from that sub-panel so I need to know if I have to run an INSULATED equipment grounding conductor with my feeders from the main panel or I can use the insulated ground just from the sub-panel to the equipment. I hope it is clear for you.
Thanks.

Re: Insulated ground.

it must be a insulated egc. 680.25(b)(2)and dont forget if this is a separate building you need a ground rod.

Larry,
If there is six or less circuit breakers in the sub-panel a main breaker is not required.

Re: Insulated ground.

If he runs an insulated EGC in the raceway with the neutral HE MUST not ground the neutral at the sub panel and the ground rod is not to be tied to the neutral.
