Correct answer to question 10039
- B: All receptacles within 20 ft of the inside walls
Explanation
NEC 2026 expanded 680.32 and 680.58 so that all receptacles within 20 ft of the inside walls of a storable pool or fountain must have ground-fault protection. Storable pools are often installed near existing outdoor receptacles, so this closes a common protection gap.
