Question 1

Match the outlets with the type of protection required.
-Hallway lighting outlet

Accepted Answer

Hallway lighting outlets typically require AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection to prevent electrical fires caused by arc faults in the wiring.

Question 2

Match the outlets with the type of protection required.
-Unfinished basement receptacle outlet

Accepted Answer

An unfinished basement receptacle outlet requires GFCI protection, as it is an area where water and moisture may be present and there is a higher risk of electrical shock.

Question 3

Match the outlets with the type of protection required.
-Kitchen counter receptacle outlet

Accepted Answer

Kitchen counter receptacle outlets require GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection. This is because the risk of electrical shock is increased due to the proximity to water sources in the kitchen. GFCI protection will quickly disconnect power to the outlet if it detects any ground fault, preventing potential electrocution.
