Under the NEC 2023 and 2026, a 50-ampere, 120/240-volt range receptacle is installed in a dwelling kitchen more than 6 ft from the sink. Is GFCI protection required?

Exactly one answer is correct.

Show solution

Correct answer to question 4027

  • C: Yes, kitchen receptacles and electric ranges are now covered

Explanation

From the 2023 edition, all dwelling kitchen receptacles up to 250 volts are covered by 210.8(A), and 210.8(D) lists electric ranges among the appliances needing GFCI. The range receptacle therefore needs GFCI protection, usually a 2-pole GFCI breaker.
