What does it say in the code book about GFCI in a workshop. I plan on running 3 circuits for plugs. 1 down each side wall and one across the back wall. Do I need 3 GFCI, 1 on each run? How exactly does that play out with the code.

Also, are they they be connected at the start of the run OR in the middle, or does it matter as long as they are there and working?

Is it a workshop or a garage or a garage being used as a workshop. GFCIs are required in a garage. GFCI can be wired to protect themselves only, or be wired to protect themselves and all outlets downstream. Yes you will have to have one on each circuit.

It doesn't matter what it is. GFIs are required for RECEPTACLES in a garage and in any accessory building to a residence.

See 210.8(A)(2)

Ughh. Kind of wish I would have bought the GFi breakers instead of regular ones. But then, they came with the panel as a package deal lol. Not that I can't wire the plugs in, just easier to pop in a breaker. I guess buying 3 is not so bad.



This stuff gets expensive fast don't it

Thanks!

Actually this way will save you money. Just have power go to Line side of the first GFI, then connect the Downstream recepticles onto the Load side of the GFI.
