Bill......Yes! That is exactly what I am talking about. Canadian Electrical Code requires that when the appliance garage door is closed, power to the receptacle has to be disconnected via a door switch in the appliance garage. Of course, when the door is fully open, the receptacle would be energized. The reasoning behind this is if the person were to leave a coffee maker or toaster on, and shut the appliance garage, a potential fire could result.
My understanding is that I need some sort of NO plunger switch so that the door can hit it and activate the receptacle.
Nobody else in US or Canada has come across this? I take it this rule is only found in the canadian electrical code?
