Which of the following is NOT a requirement for bathroom wiring?

In residential wiring, especially in bathrooms, certain safety requirements are established primarily to protect users from electric shock in areas prone to moisture.

Regarding the statement about bathroom circuits being able to supply other load areas, this is not aligned with electrical code requirements. Specifically, circuits designated for bathroom use must be kept separate from circuits used for other areas. This separation is crucial because bathrooms have unique environmental conditions that require specific safety measures, such as the need for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. Having dedicated circuits helps ensure that the risk of overloads or faults from other areas doesn't impact the bathroom's safety.

In contrast, the other requirements—GFCI protection for receptacles, the need for receptacles to be on a single branch circuit, and the requirement for at least one basin—are all part of the safety protocols aimed at preventing electrical accidents in wet areas. GFCI protection is the most critical, as it is designed to trip when it detects a ground fault, ensuring that any shock hazard is mitigated immediately. The stipulation of single branch circuits further enhances safety by preventing multiple high-demand appliances from overwhelming the circuit, while the minimum basin requirement ensures there is at least one wash area where plumbing and electrical safety can
