Man you guys make it sound so simple..you install GFCI breakers and owner does not see all thous cheap outlets and everything is fine..then show him Section 210.8(B)(2) requires all 15- and 20-ampere, 125-volt receptacles in non-dwelling-type kitchens to be GFCI protected. This requirement applies to all 15- and 20-ampere, 125-volt kitchen receptacles, whether or not the receptacle serves counter-top areas.
Accident data related to electrical incidents in non-dwelling kitchens reveal the presence of many hazards, including poorly maintained electrical apparatus, damaged electrical cords, wet floors, and employees without proper electrical safety training. Mandating some limited form of GFCI protection for high-hazard areas such as non-dwelling kitchens should help prevent electrical accidents. This requirement provides specific information on what is considered to be a commercial or institutional kitchen. A location with a sink and a portable cooking appliance (e.g., cord-and-plug-connected microwave oven) is not considered a commercial or institutional kitchen for the purposes of applying this requirement. Kitchens in restaurants, hotels, schools, churches, dining halls, and similar facilities are examples of the types of kitchens covered by this requirement.
explain that the breakers are by far superior then the outlets and when they trip they are sensing a real problem..he will not know the difference and you wont need to worry about the owner removing the outlets and replacing them with a regular outlets..which is what happens and someone gets hurt and you get dragged in and unless you have pictures to prove you did it correctly..you got to love our society..
