I would like an opinion form other AHJ's or inspectors.
A portion of the area I inspect is rural/agricultural. Seems everyone builds a structure on their property..they call these "outbuildings", "barns" "sheds" "storage buildings" "shops", etc and that terminology is listed on their permit as an "other".
Most are called "barns" although few have any livestock.
I have not settled in my mind, the GFCI requirement,
If there is a residence on the same property is the an "outbuiling" requiring GFCI under 210.8A(2) even though its an acre away and twice the size of the house.
If its a barn, no livestock, no equipotential grid, are GFCI's required inside in dry areas?"
If its a "shop"..??
Any other "country" inspectors have a comment?
