I'm having a difficult time with an inspector about the definition of "readily accessible". We are working on a grocery store with lots of appliances on prep tables and GFCI receptacles behind them. All of these appliances can be reached around to reset and test the GFCI, but the inspector insists that since equipment is placed in front of these receps the are not "readily accessible. Any of these areas that require moving of the table or appliance I have changed to regular receps on a GFCI CB, but to change them all would be a several thousand dollar change order my customer would not be pleased about. These are installations are as per approved drawings. I believe I'm adhering to the NEC 100 definition of readily accessible. I appreciate any feedback.
