Thiamin, vitamin B1, works in the form of a co-enzyme (enzyme helper) in reactions that produce energy in our bodies. It helps break down glucose (a simple sugar) for energy in 2 steps of metabolism; helps make DNA and RNA and produce energy-rich molecules that power protein synthesis.
There is no specific requirement in the NEC for the washing machine itself to have GFCI protection. Section 210.52(F) requires a receptacle outlet to be installed for the laundry area and it must be supplied by a 20-ampere branch circuit in accordance with 210.11(C)(2).
All branch circuits supplying 125-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere outlets installed in dwelling unit bedrooms must be protected by an arc-fault circuit interrupter listed to provide protection of the entire branch circuit. [210.12(B)] This requirement first appeared in the 1999 NEC but did not become effective until January 1, 2002.
