Not sure if anybody else saw the same thing, but my UPS origin scan for these is from "Sparks, NV, United States". Seems appropriate.

I'm not going to get into all of the rules (there's different rules for lighting, fixed in-place appliances, cord-and-plug, etc), but the general rule is as follows: If a circuit has...

Every new residential outlet that is 120v and 15A or 20A does need to be TR (tamper-resistant) according to recent revisions of the NEC (2008+). Your local code may be different, so you'd have to...

Didn't think of children, but that would make me think that EVERY outlet/switch would need to be tamper proof if that was really the reason. A GFCI isn't more dangerous behind-the-scenes

Kids. Plain and simple. Also prevents the chocking hazard associated with the safety plugs that have been around forever. Not saying I agree with the rule, but it is a rule. Here's some...

Isn't he simply putting too much onto the circuit breaker? I thought you're only supposed to put 80% of the rating onto any circuit. 80% of 15 amps is 12 amps. He's above that... edit: also, don't...

Why the need for tamper resistant GFCI in a residence? I thought tamper resistant is more for public places to prevent random people from tampering with the device with a makeshift screwdriver or...

I would assume that one would be plugging a surge protector into the GFCI (since what was discussed here is an outlet), not the other way around. I'm assuming that's OK then, correct? Thanks.

Surge protectors must be plugged into GFCIs. Plugging a GFCI device into a surge protector provides no protection.

How do they "defeat surge protectors"? Do you mean that the GFCI will trip instead of allowing a brief surge through to the surge protector? Or do you mean that it will allow the surge through but...

Depends where the GFCI is on the circuit path and how sensitive it is to overdraw compared to your breaker in the main panel. So that's a "maybe", depending on several factors. The fact that a...

Thats why I said if you use a 20A receptacle you need 12 guage wire. DO not replace a 15A with a 20A on use the 15A wiring. I was speaking about new construction ONLY.
