2008 NEC GFCI requirements

[tom baker]

I had a list of the 2005 NEC added GFCI requirements, it was 14 or so.
Has anyone made a list of the 2008 NEC GFCI requirements, including the deletions of exceptions?

210.8 is pretty short and easy to understand.

The only exceptions that are deleted are Nos. 1 and 2 to 210.8(A)(5).

And Nos. 1 and 2 to 210.8(A)(2).

Just residential or residential and commercial?

If commercial, don't forget repair areas in Chapter 5 and vending machines.

Everywhere. When I get the list I'll post it.
