Are GFCI outlets allowed on new circuit installations?
The Code doesn't specify location of protection.
NEC 2017

210.8 Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter Protection for Personnel.
Ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel shall be
provided as required in 210.8(A) through (E). The ground-fault circuit
interrupter shall be installed in a readily accessible location.

Th 2020 Code changes (E) to (F), and reorganizes paragraphs.
The biggest issue is interpretation of &quot;readily accessible&quot;.(e.g. Is the receptacle behind the fridge or microwave readily accessible?)
