motor loads.

(D) Single-Pole Connectors. Where single-pole connec- tors are used, they shall comply with 530.22.

525.23 Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) Protection.

(A) Where GFCI Protection Is Required. The ground- fault circuit interrupter shall be permitted to be an integral part of the attachment plug or located in the power-supply cord, within 300 mm (12 in.) of the attachment plug. Listed cord sets incorporating ground- fault circuit interrupter for personnel shall be permitted.

(1) 125-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere non- locking-type receptacles used for disassembly and reassembly or readily accessible to the general public

(2) Equipment that is readily accessible to the general public and supplied from a 125-volt, single-phase,

15- or 20-ampere branch circuit

(B) Where GFCI Protection Is Not Required. Recep- tacles that only facilitate quick disconnecting and reconnecting of electrical equipment shall not be required to be provided with GFCI protection. These receptacles shall be of the locking type.

(C) Where GFCI Protection Is Not Permitted. Egress lighting shall not be protected by a GFCI.

IV. Grounding and Bonding

525.30 Equipment Bonding. The following equipment connected to the same source shall be bonded:

(1) Metal raceways and metal-sheathed cable

(2) Metal enclosures of electrical equipment

(3) Metal frames and metal parts of portable structures, trailers, trucks, or other equipment that contain or support electrical equipment

The equipment grounding conductor of the circuit supplying the equipment in items (1), (2) or (3) that is

likely to energize the metal frame or part shall be permitted to serve as the bonding means.

525.31 Equipment Grounding. All equipment to be grounded shall be connected to an equipment grounding conductor of a type recognized by 250.118 and installed in accordance with Parts VI and VII of Article 250. The equipment grounding conductor shall be connected to the system grounded conductor at the service disconnecting means or, in the case of a separately derived system such as a generator, at the generator or first disconnecting means supplied by the generator. The grounded circuit conductor shall not be connected to the equipment grounding conductor on the load side of the service disconnecting means or on the load side of a separately derived system disconnecting means.

525.32 Grounding Conductor Continuity Assurance. The continuity of the grounding conductor system used to reduce electrical shock hazards as required by

250.114, 250.138, 406.3(C), and 590.4(D) shall be verified each time that portable electrical equipment is connected.
