Are all 125V, 15 and 20A receptacles installed on rooftops required to have GFCI protection?

GFCI protection is crucial for electrical safety, especially in areas where there is an increased risk of electric shock, such as wet or damp environments. However, the National Electrical Code (NEC) specifies conditions under which GFCI protection is required.

For receptacles installed on rooftops, the NEC does not mandate that all 125V, 15A and 20A receptacles have GFCI protection. While GFCI protection is required for outdoor receptacles and areas where water is present, installations on rooftops that are not in direct contact with water do not automatically fall under the GFCI requirements. This distinction allows for flexibility in certain installations, particularly in commercial settings where receptacles may be appropriately positioned away from hazardous conditions.

In summary, GFCI protection is essential in many scenarios, but the specific requirement of GFCI for all rooftop applications is not a blanket rule according to the NEC. As a result, the answer indicating that not all such receptacles require GFCI protection is accurate and aligns with the stipulations of the code.
