I would like some comment on this one please
Here is an interesting one. I read this to mean if we have a desk area with receptacles at the desk top then the space below may need a receptacle if it falls into the standard distance rule req. for recep. on a wall. That's nuts. I can see if it were in a cabinet with a door---Maybe I am reading this incorrectly
I am currently taking a CEU class a couple nights a week. We covered that one last week, they had a Mike Holt graphic showing a countertop with a receptacle near the end of the countertop, then less then six feet of wall with no counter to a door. It was explaining that the less then six foot of wall couldn't use the countertop receptacle to meet the receptacle required on that wall even though it was withing six feet of the door.
.......................R

........................................R2
_______________________________DOOR_______
Crude drawing using text above hope it made sense. If the door were less then 6 feet from receptacle "R" in previous codes this would satisify 210.52(A). Now they are saying you need "R2" to satisify 210.52(A).
had to edit my crude drawing as it wouldn let me use blank spaces to position the R and R2, so the periods in front of them are just there to position the receptacles along the floor/counter line.
