I came across a picture and the discussion was about a AC unit and a few people mentioned a GFCI outlet. With some quick looking I found 210.63. Which says:
210.63 Heating, Air-Conditioning, and Refrigeration Equip‐ ment Outlet. A 125-volt, single-phase, 15- or 20-ampere-rated receptacle outlet shall be installed at an accessible location for the servicing of heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. The receptacle shall be located on the same level and within 7.5 m (25 ft) of the heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. The receptacle outlet shall not be connected to the load side of the equipment disconnecting means.
Informational Note: See 210.8 for ground-fault circuit-interrupter requirements.
Exception: A receptacle outlet shall not be required at one- and two-family dwellings for the service of evaporative coolers.
I currently work at a mine site and I was thinking about all the HVAC units we have and none of them have an outlet nearby. I asked a coworker and he mentioned it's only for commercial. I said where does it say that? I believe, after reading this code, it should be followed on our job site. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
