GFCI and Assured Grounding in BC

When used outdoors or in wet or damp locations, portable electrical equipment, including temporary lighting, must be protected by an approved ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) of the Class A type installed at the receptacle or on the circuit at the panel, unless another acceptable means of protection is provided. A ground fault circuit interrupter must not be used in place of grounding except as permitted by the Electrical Safety Regulation. [1]

Portable electrical equipment, required to be grounded and not permanently connected to the wiring system, must be effectively grounded by the use of approved cords and polarized plugs inserted in grounded polarized receptacles. [1]
