Under 210.8(A), a 125-volt, 20-ampere receptacle that serves a dwelling kitchen countertop surface requires what protection?
a.GFCI
b.AFCI only
c.Surge only
d.None
Explanation
Section 210.8(A)(6) requires GFCI protection for receptacles serving dwelling kitchen countertop surfaces due to proximity to water. AFCI is separately required for the circuit but does not satisfy the GFCI rule; surge protection and 'none' do not protect against shock.
