Question:
Good morning
My question relates to receptacles installed for plug in transformers for automatic sinks. Is 210.8(B)(5) measured globally or linearly.
Thanks
Edward Sim
A
Answer:
Hey Edward thanks for your question. The distance is the shortest path a cord would follow without passing through floor, wall, ceiling, fixed barrier, or opening as stated in 210.8 in the 2017 NEC. In previous editions it was not described for this application.
