Correct answer to question 4012
- C: No, the accessory building item applies only to floors at or below grade
Explanation
In the 2020 NEC, 210.8(A) covered accessory buildings that have a floor located at or below grade level and are limited to storage or work areas. A shed with a raised floor did not meet that condition, so 210.8(A) did not require GFCI for the interior receptacles.
