During an inspection of a commercial kitchen, you notice the 125V, 15A receptacles near the sinks lack GFCI protection. The manager claims they are exempt because they are dedicated for refrigerators. How should you respond?
Answers
AGFCI is only required for 250V receptacles in kitchens
BAll 15A and 20A, 125V receptacles in a commercial kitchen require GFCI protection, regardless of their intended use
CThe manager is correct; dedicated appliance receptacles are exempt
DOnly receptacles within 6 feet of the sink need GFCI
Correct answer: B — All 15A and 20A, 125V receptacles in a commercial kitchen require GFCI protection, regardless of their intended use
NEC 210.8(B) mandates that all 15A and 20A, 125V receptacles in commercial kitchens must be GFCI protected. There are no exemptions for dedicated equipment.
