In a commercial (other than dwelling) building, a 125-volt, 20-ampere receptacle installed in a bathroom must have what protection?
a.AFCI only
b.No protection
c.GFCI
d.Surge only
Explanation
Section 210.8(B) requires GFCI protection for 125-V through 250-V receptacles in non-dwelling bathrooms, kitchens, rooftops, and similar locations. AFCI is not the specified requirement here; 'no protection' and surge-only leave the shock hazard unaddressed.
