Range

[wmeek]

Does a Range require AFCI or GFCI per 2020 Nec. I haven't done a range in a while. I dont have my code book with me

Thanks

If the range receptacle outlet is within 6' of a sink, GFCI protection is required. No AFCI is required.

I believe all receptacle 125 thru 250 v need gfci

Is range a 120V or 240V? All 120V 15A and 20A in a kitchen need AFCI. If 240V, if 120V to ground it might need GFCI regardless of proximity to the sink unless tocal or state has adopted a TIA

Would the answer not be dependent on dwelling unit vs non-dwelling unit ??

 

[Fred B]

True

Just curious as to what others are doing when code requires GFCI protection and you cant find a GFCI breaker in GE
