So beat me up….can’t find anything to clarify in the NEC…….
OK, water, dishwasher, put your hand inside the unit to get a wet dish….bzzzzt?
Should I put the dishwasher on a GGCI Breaker?

By considering things like energy-efficient mechanicals, window orientation, and renewable energy sources, homes can be evaluated to meet the energy codes. Here's what the IRC has to say.

No. Put it on it's own breaker but you don't need a GFI. It wouldn't hurt anything, but not required. You won't be rearanging the dishes while it's running anyway. Well at least not the second time. :)

But if you put a plug inside the sink cabinet for the DW, you do need a GFI outlet, right -- even if the DW is on its own, separate circuit?********************************************************

You need to have a receptical on its one circuit. The receptical needs to be located in the space occupied by the dishwasher. The cord going to the dishwasher shouldn't be longer the four feet.

The only comment I got back on my plan check was that the DW recipticle be accessible - NOT in the same space as the DW but under the sink. However, they didn't say anything about GFCI.
Well do whatever you want then.

Thanks. BTW, you remember some months ago we went through a thing about the Veto Pro Pac? As I recall, you bought one, and I am curious to know what you think of it after using it for a while. I use mine everyday and I like it even more now, since I have sort of settled on a system of what goes where.********************************************************

Yep I was thinking about dragging that thread up and doing a review. I like it alot. Like you, I have a system that works pretty good. I always load my tool belt task specific so it works great for holding what's left. For awhile I was packing my Panasonic 12 volt in there but it turned into a little too much. If I pack the Veto into a building I rarely have to go back for something else. I have everythiong I need.
Best tool bag I've ever owned.

No it does not need to be GFCI protected.A) it does not serve the counter top.B) The DW has a ground connection that will divert any fault currents.C) Unlike small appliance that you migth drop into a sink of water the DW is too big to fit into most sinks.
Thanks to Bill and others.
I appreciate the simple detailed example for my dishwasher versus counter top GFCI.
