Hi,
Absolutely confused here!
I am investigating a project and as far as I know GFCI protection is required for all receptacles in bathrooms. I also re-checked the code and as per 210.8 (B) it is required.
However, the receptacles provided in the bathrooms are 250 V, 50 HZ, 13 A, 1 PH + N + G, BS 1363 TYPE, single receptacles. Does anyone know if these are considered to have ground fault protection?
Other than this, I see that on the project all receptacles provided outside are both weatherproof and have GFCI protection specifically written on them.
I am just trying to figure out if there is a certain reason for not providing GFCI protection on the receptacles in the bathroom. Is it may be that these receptacles are 13A and that is below the 15A which the code requires?
Thanks for all the advice in advance!
