"210.64 Electrical Service Areas. At least one 125 volt single phase 15 or 20 ampere rated receptacle out shall be
installed within 15 m (50 ft) of the electrical service equipment.
Exception: The receptacle outlet shall not be required to be installed in one and two family dwellings."
1.) Comment on Proposal No.: 2-191
2.) Recommendation: Reject this proposal.
3.) Substantiation: Considering that possibly 1% of all services installed on the planet have data recording equipment attached to them once in their lives for a temporary period of time, this proposal is woefully under-substantiated. There are cord-set GFCI protection devices to protect against half of the submitter's concern. Many services can even be temporarily modified to service a 120V receptacle for the task at hand as well.
