Which article contains the additional requirements for receptacle outlets in dwelling unit countertops and work surfaces?

• A. Article 406
• B. Article 210
• C. Article 200
• D. Article 430

Answer: (A)

Receptacle outlets and their installation specifics are addressed in the article that covers receptacles, cord-and-plug-connected equipment, and attachment plugs and receptacles. That article includes the requirements that apply to dwelling-unit receptacles, including those located on countertops and work surfaces, such as how they are installed, protected, and any dwelling-unit-specific rules (like tamper-resistant design). While other articles touch on related topics—such as where receptacles should be located on countertops or how branch circuits are wired—the detailed requirements for receptacle outlets themselves in dwelling units are housed in this article. The other options don’t focus on receptacle installation: one covers branch circuits, another provides general definitions, and another deals with motors and motor circuits.
