Explanation of Solution

NEC Section 210.8 deals with the locations needed for Ground fault circuit interrupters in residential applications. GFCI safety devices should be mounted in an immediately accessible location. GFCI security is necessary forthe residential electrical system in several regions outside and inside of the house.

GFCI receptacles are used to safeguard people from the dangers of electric shock. Ground fault circuit interrupter receptacles secure the places where they are mounted and may also secure standard duplex receptacles that are mounted farther along the circuit. A Ground fault circuit interrupter circuit breaker also protects ground-fault.

Conclusion:

NEC Section 210.8 with the locations needed for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters in residential applications.
