Follow-up

I have my lights (fluorescent) coming off the main house
panel and all else coming off a sub panel for the shop. That way I can
lock out all machines and outlets when I
have grand kids working in the shop.
The shop is in my basement and I believe that general
circuits (those not dedicated to a specific use) are
required have a GFCI.

Don't think so.
If you follow that logic, EVERY receptacle in the house
would require GFCI protection which obviously is not the case.


I'm thinking they are treating the basement as they do an exterior wall
because of the (potential) dampness.
