Greetings,
What are the requirements for protecting NM 12 AWG wire in an attic run along the ceiling? The attic has a walk-up stairwell, finished floor and walls, but exposed rafters. The rafters start at about 4 feet high.
What are the requirements for outlets? How high? GFCI?
I have looked in the NEC but I do not want to misinterpret anything so I am hoping to get some clarification in this case. I understand that in the end I must do whatever the local code office wants but first I wanted to understand what the NEC actually calls for.
Thank you for your time and energy,
William
