GFCI

[dvuong]

I want to install a series of seven receptacles with GFCI in the shop area for electrical tools. Can I just use one GFCI or all seven has to be GFCI on the same dedicated circuit breaker?

Re: GFCI

The code does not specify how many receptacles can be downstream of one GFCI recpetacle. This will be a manufacturing listing. My concern would be total load for the seven receptacles used in a shop for tools. Why can't you split these up on a couple or more circuits?
