    Receptacles inside the garage dont require GFCI in Canada. Outdoor receptacles less than 2.5 m above ground do, and carports (not specified) but really they are outside so should have the GFCI. Good for us because I believe fridges and freezers can cause nuisance tripping of GFCIs. In U.S is it true that some exemptions from GFCI requirements may be allowed if access to the receptacle is blocked by something not easily moved ,such as a fridge or stove?

    Another approach is to trigger the GFCIs only at the GFCI receptacles , or breaker panels themselves. That way you are sure you can reset it. Worst case is you might not be able to find all the other protected receptacles on the circuit. Up here in the great white north we don't put fridges and freezers on GFCI circuits, I guess because we dont keep fridges outside and garage receptacles dont require GFCI. T Dot

    Glad to be on board from Canada to such a positive tech forum. Here's my first question. I came across Cutler Hammer literature indicating their breakers are compatible with numerous other panel manufacturer brands as proven through UL testing. Does the same hold true in Canada where we need to see either CSA or UL with a small c (ULc) for Canada? I came across a Siemens panel with Cutler Hammer breakers. Is this OK in Canada ? TDot
