Question:
Are all receptacles in a shop at a private residence to be protected by a GFI circuit?
John Wagner
A
Answer:
Hey John thanks for your question. You don't provide a description of where the shop is located. If it is in garage or accessory building then yes, all 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles need GFCI protection for personnel as stated in 210.8(A)(2). The same rule applies to unfinished basements in 210.8(A)(5).
