FYI-
The CMP 17 created a new Section. They created 422.5 and moved all GFCI requirements currently found for various appliances (water cooler, vending machines, etc) and moved them to one area which looks a lot like (well exactly like 210.8). So the big debate was over the moving of 210.8(D) for dishwashers to Article 422. While I can't say what will happen in the other panel I can tell you that it did make it's way to Article 422...but it did not mandate that the manufacturers of the dishwashers had to incorporate GFCI protection...it was listed as an option only. This basically changed nothing within the requirement as the options will be as follows:
422.5 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(A) General- Appliances identified in 422.5(A)(1) through (7) rated 250 volts or less and 60 amperes or less, single or three phase shall be provided with GFCI protection for personnel.
1) automotive vacuum machines- provided for public use (paraphrased)
2) Boat Hoists
3) Drinking Water Coolers
4) Dwelling unit dishwashers
5) High Pressure Spray Washing Machines - provided for public use (paraphrased)
6) Tire Inflation Machines -provided for public use (paraphrased)
7) Vending Machines
(B) The GFCI shall be readily accessible, listed and label , and permitted to be in one or more of the following locations:
(1) within the branch circuit overcurrent device
(2) A device or outlet within the supply circuit
(3) an integral part of the attachment plug
(4) within the supply cord not more than 12in. from attachment plug
(5) factory installed within the equipment.
Informational note: Multiple GFCI protective devices cab be used to protect the person subject to contact with the appliance, but are not required.
Anyway....thats an update on that one from Hilton Head. SC. .....PEACE BROTHERS !
