Question:
Enjoy the CQD,
The 2020 NEC, section 210.8, requires GFCI protection on dwelling unit outside outlets. Would that include a submersible well pump that serves a dwelling unit?

Answer:
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the question. Yes, an outlet for a submersible well pump would be required to be protected by GFCI protection based on the 2020 NEC Section 210.8(F). There currently does not appear to be an exception for a submersible well pump that serves a dwelling unit.
