Required Dwelling Receptacles

[steve66]

Does 201.52(A) apply to unfinished basements? In other words, can I space the outlets out more than the typical 12' maximum that applies to most rooms in a dwelling?

I think 210.52(G) circumvents (A), because ot is the more specific rule.

(G) Basements and Garages. For a one-family dwelling, at least one receptacle outlet, in addition to any provided for laundry equipment, shall be installed in each basement and in each attached garage, and in each detached garage with electric power. See 210.8(A)(2) and (A)(5). Where a portion of the basement is finished into one or more habitable rooms, each separate unfinished portion shall have a receptacle outlet installed in accordance with this section.

Thanks Ryan, I had forgot there was a paragraph that deals with basement receptacles.
