Is it stated anywhere in the NEC that i am not allowed to use a 220V (GFCI protected) outlet in the bathroom? I would be observing all applicable restrictions according to 310.52 (D)? This application is for a dwelling.

thanks.
:-?
 
No such restriction exists. However, the NEC only requires GFCI protection for 120 volt circuits. May I ask what the application is?
 
310.52(D)??????:confused:

Do you mean 210.52(D)? If so, I don't think this section requires you to install it within 3 feet of the basin, as it only applies to 120v receptacles.

I am sure you know but I will state it anyway---you still need the 120 volt receptacle that is GFCI protected within 3' of the sink.
 
its in a hotel resort and we want to leave the option for both North American and European....


Thanks guys really appreciate your feedback

Would a non-NEMA receptacle even be allowed?

Why not?

Just for fun can you even find a requirement that we use a NEMA configured 125 volt 15 amp configuration for the entire house? :grin:

I guess I should have asked if it would be accepted if it's not listed?

I've never dealt with devices intended for other countries. Are they even listed?
