Question:
Under sec 400.10 (A) (11) is it permissible to power a wall mountable receptacle with flexible?
Michael Gaudette
A
Answer:
Hey Michael thanks for your question. Yes, flexible cord can be used but only but it must be part of a listed assembly as stated in the last sentence of 400.11(A)(11). This was added to allow power to flat screen TV's or other equipment that would be located "out of reach" of a receptacle. There is also nothing wrong with having a qualified electrician install a receptacle using a Chapter 3 wiring method.
