Bill: Wouldnt they be able to say that only Counter-top receptacles need to be GFCI protection ? Also that 210.8 is for dwelling units. and 525.23(B) would be considered commercial, I know in our small Town of Warren when they have festivals downtown, the local inspector goes nuts trying to get everyone to comply, although its a 3-day event he has to look at everything, and generally the whole area is a total mess, electrically that is. -Mark-
