Re: CQD answer published Tuesday, June 7, 2016 - GFI protection for basement sump pump receptacle
Charlie,
Is a GFCI receptacle required for a sump pump in a house where the basement is finished?

A
Answer:
Hey Reggie thanks for your follow up question. No, the wording used in 210.8(A)(5) is "unfinished basement" which is locally defined as "portions or areas of the basement not intended as habitable rooms". That might be a good Public Input for the 2020 NEC.
