First off let me say it has been over 15 years since I was involved in anything using conventional electrical components in Canada and maybe 20 years since I was ever asked anything to do with Health Care Facitlies in Canada.
In the US there is cable specified for Health Care (AC-HFC) and for non Heath care MC is used. Now there is a crossover between the two. In Canada I had the impression normally for normal 120 receptalces we would use the hospital grade receptacle and 12/2 BX with insulated ground is this correct or am I in need of a refesher on Canadain Standards?
