Correct answer to question 7006
- D: A cover that is weatherproof when closed with no plug inserted
Explanation
Section 406.9(A) allows a receptacle in a damp location to have an enclosure that is weatherproof when the receptacle cover is closed and no plug is inserted. The in-use requirement applies to wet locations under 406.9(B). The receptacle itself must still be weather resistant.
