220 residental dishwasher

[JDB3]

I am currently working on a residential plan that indicates a 220 volt dishwasher. :huh:
If indeed it is a 220 volt dishwasher, by the 2014 NEC, will it be required to be GFCI protected ?? :?

I would say yes. 210.8(D) does not limit the requirement to 120 volt circuits.

Is the dishwasher hard wired or is there an outlet?

 

[charlie b]

That would not make any difference. The 2014 article 210.8(D) says that GFCI protection is required for outlets that supply dishwashers in dwelling units. In this context, "outlet" would mean either a hard-wired connection in an outlet box or a receptacle outlet.

Is it "220V"? Or that just oldtimer speak for "240V"?

Cause if it is "220V", then: Is it also 50Hz?

edit to add: Not an answer to your question - just curiousity

It is an old timer speaking, started trade "officially" in '74. :lol:
But, on the other hand plans had "220" by the symbol for the dishwasher.

Often times people still use 220V for 240V just as they still say 110V for 120V

Yes sir, just like the voltage around here runs from 125 to 129. So, just easier to keep it 110.
Also like a 44 Mag. round, is not, a true 44, but .429. Therefore 44 easier to say.

I've only seen a few residential dishwashers that were "220" and they were indeed 50 Hz.
