I'm working on a large manufacturing facility with many workstations. It is not a damp or wet environment. I am thinking 210.8(B)(8) and/or 210.63 apply. They will be using a lot of plug in tools in the manufacturing process.
Am I overthinking this? IF GFCI's are required, is there a better code section to use? I am stumped.
Poring over this thread, I came across a word that excites my fancy lol.
The word is
WORKSTATION.
During the early days of computers, the word
WORKSTATION has been used to refer to everything from a mainframe computer to an individual PC with a single user connected to a network.
Still a term used for learners though.
Your original narrative had spun out of context when you mentioned
NEC Article 210.8 and Article 210.63.
Workstation in computer lingo has nothing to do with those NEC Articles.
Workstation is different from WORKBENCH Station. No hand tools and power driven tools and hammers are used.
It is purely INTELLIGENT work.
Yes, indeed you will be over-thinking this usage in terms of linguistics--and even challenges technical aspects for those computer geeks.
I think that your usage is just slip that took you over the cliff that drove you into the chasm of MALAPROPISM.
A workstation is a special computer designed for technical or scientific applications.
Intended primarily to be used by a single user. They are commonly connected to a local area network and run multi-user operating systems.
Background and you can label me a pedant :
I am a certified Microsoft Network Engineer. I've never used this certificate anymore since I retired.
