2023 NEC Online

[micabay]

I'm an appliance tech and almost never need the use the NEC. Lately with the GFCI changes and requirements to have some appliances on AFCI, I've been trying to educate other techs. Most are of the opinion no appliances such as dishwasher, range, washer, fridge etc shouldn't be on a GFCI or AFCI because once upon a time, manufactures specifically said installing them on these devises would would void warranties and not be covered. Is there website online to read the NEC to quote and educate my fellow techs?
Thanks,
Drew

You need a free nfpa.org account. Then go to nfpa.org/70 and on the bar partway down click on "Next Edition". Then scroll down to "Second Draft Report." Or you could try this direct link:

I think there may have been some changes to the Second Draft form the NITMAMs, but I'm not aware of a way to see the updated whole document.

Cheers, Wayne

The only way to see the final document is to wait until the publish it. The second draft will be very close, but their may have been some changes made by the Standards Council....those will appear in the published version, and the Standards Council action may be published before the actual code, but not sure.

As far as I know there were no changes made to this from the second draft. Note that it requires either the branch circuit or the outlet to have the GFCI protection so it applies to both hard-wired and cord and plug connected appliances.

210.8(D) Specific Appliances.
GFCI protection shall be provided for the branch circuit or outlet supplying the following appliances rated 150 volts or less to ground and 60 amperes or less, single- or 3-phase:

1. Automotive vacuum machines
2. Drinking water coolers and bottle fill stations
3. High-pressure spray washing machines
4. Tire inflation machines
5. Vending machines
6. Sump pumps
7. Dishwashers
8. Electric ranges
9. Wall-mounted ovens
10. Counter-mounted cooking units
11. Clothes dryers
12. Microwave ovens
