There have been some recent posts asking about the necessity for GFCI protection when the equipment has an EGC.
The other night I was working at another supermarket and decided to look at the deli slicers. It does not matter what store this is, I see the same things, including the grim, at every supermarket.
OK four typical deli slicers
First plug I looked at
Second plug
The third slicer plug was fine.
The fourth had already been repaired
But wait, what about that other plug supplying a wrapping machine?
Given the choice I would rather use a equipment with an intact EGC but having a GFCI as a back up seems like a good idea.
