Ok so I have a big pond in the back yard trying to change over the mess the previous owner left behind
I have a 30amp breaker feeding a 10-3 line to the outside I made sure its a UF line that can be used outside
then I put that in a junction box split it down to 14-3 lines for outlets and some spot light switches
here is my questions :
Can i just use a GFI breaker ? or does each and every outlet have to be GFI ? the are 3 outlets all on its each line I know when they are a 2 gang one can be GFI as long as its the first inline right ?
What do i do with the red wire ? its capped at every outlet right now ? can that stay as it is ?
I wanna have a switch to control 2 spot lights on the deck shooting at the pond how do I wire an inline switch do I have to buy a special switch ?
The breaker is wired right ( I had a certified electrician do it while rewiring the entire basment ) he told me I can use the existing wire as it is its good to go 10-3 from panel to a junction box half way in the basment then 10-3 to the outside ( reds are tied in together no clue why we even using a 3 wire anyway ? )
10-3 = wht blk red and bare neutral
12-3 = wht blk red and bare neutral
