Question:
I am a big fan of CQD and have followed for many years, My question is in regards to 680.23 (F) (b) , is it permissible to install a grounding terminal block in a pvc junction box for the connection of the equipment grounding conductor from a pool panel board to that j-box which supplies the branch circuits to pool equipment as well as the line side of the pool light transformer, I have not allowed this practice in the past because the pvc j-box is not listed or factory equipped to install a grounding terminal block, some jurisdictions allow it and others do not, I would like to have us all on the same page, thanks for all the great information You provide and thanks in advance for the help with this question.

Answer:
Hey Bud thanks for your question and the compliment. You are correct, junction boxes used for underwater luminaires must be listed as swimming pool junction boxes as stated in 680.24(A)(1).
