Branch Circuits & WiringQuestion 162 of 521
Under 210.8(F), outdoor outlets for dwellings supplying equipment such as air-conditioning condensers, rated 150 volts or less to ground and 60 amperes or less, generally require what?
a.AFCI protection
b.Surge protection
c.GFCI protection
d.No protection
Explanation
Section 210.8(F) requires GFCI protection for outdoor outlets that supply dwelling equipment rated 150 V or less to ground and 60 A or less, including many HVAC condenser units. AFCI and surge protection do not address the outdoor shock hazard, and 'no protection' does not meet the rule.
