Elec code question

NoSpam · 2007-09-18T21:55:30+00:00

Does code require the receptacle for a over-the-range microwave to be GFIprotected? (Seems to me like it would be a good idea because one mayfrequently be touching the microwave and the grounded range - or is itsufficient to depend on the microwave ground being intact at all times?)Anyway the main question is, "Doec the code require a GFI here?"Many thanks.

You are reading something in the code that is not there. All it says about the KITCHEN is "(6)Kitchens where the receptacles are installed to serve the countertop surfaces.

Wet bar sinks and laundry sinks are dealt with in another provision. Not the same thing at all.

Perhaps you are happier with the new commercial kitchen rule that says all receptacles in the kitchen will be GFCI and that includes the ones behind the refrigerators. Next year it gets tighter than that when everything will be required to be AFCI in a dwelling and that will incorporate some degree of GFCI protection (30ma or 5ma)

Umm, read what you just wrote. Saying there isn't a six feet rule and then trying to say that six feet from a sink is a specific location is just crazy. Sorry bud but that's the way it is.
