Hi Steve, Hope all is well with you.
See the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, Article 210.8 for the list of locations that require GFCI in the US. In Canada, see Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1, Rule 26-704 and 26-710, as well as other locations for GFCI requirements. Best regards, DON GIES Field Service Engineer [cid:image001.png@01DA8763.4E110020] p +1 346 313 6216 e donald.g...@non.se.com w gutor.com 17 Capitol Reef Road Howell, NJ 07731 United States [cid:image002.png@01DA8763.4E110020] General From: sgbrody <sgbr...@comcast.net> Sent: Monday, March 25, 2024 21:18 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] GFCI Receptacles [External email: Use caution with links and attachments] ________________________________ Esteemed experts: It has always been what I thought was the requirement for GFCI receptacles was only when the product or system was intended for a wet or damp location. A system a client is having an NRTL fo a Field Evaluation on had receptacles and they are being told they need to be GFCI. NFPA-79 15.1.1 requires this only for receptacles to be used for, e.g., handheld power tools, test equipment, and other accessories. The questions are: - What is the definition of accessories as used in NFPA-79, - And is it written in any other standard where and when GFCI outlets are required? Thank you.
