  • Regarding GFCI protection for residential garages, the protected receptacles must be in a "readily accessible" location, according to 210.8. just how does the receptacle on the garage ceiling for the garage door opener meet the definition of "readily accessible" in Article 100?

  • Regarding the "readily accessible" requirement for GFCI protection in a residential garage, just how does the garage door opener receptacle on the ceiling meet this requirement, since you need to use a ladder to reach it, in violation of the definition in Article 100?
