My question is in regards to a residential generator installation. There is a 120v duplex receptacle installed for the battery charger and block heater. (Each one plugs in seperatly) Is this outlet required to be GFCI protected?
I know there where some changes in '08 for residential GFCI use, but this installation would be '05. It looks to me like 210.8 would indicate that it IS required because it is outdoors. It is however with in a "weather proof" enclosure. If you consider them weather proof.
For what it's worth the generator service company is saying it shouldn't be GFCI protected.
Thanks for the help!
