With a 240v irrigation pump at the lake can you tap one leg and pull a neutral to feed a gfci outlet? If you know the section of the code that prohibits it that would be a big help. Also is there a minimum distance from the lake for the ground fault outlet? I would like to read the code section on that also if it is prohibited. thanks Dan

the only distance requirement is 12" above the dock, or not withing 24" of the electrical datum plane.

thanks for the ariticle #

I didn't see any minimum for a pump or general purpose outlet in section 682. I was checking 2002 code and that article isn't in there. I'm in Mich and we haven't moved to 2005 yet. how about taping off the240 hot and ground with a neutral, legal? thanks Dan

What sort of electrical work do you typically do? How long have you been in the trade?
