Hello Everyone,
I have a question regarding adding outlets along approximately 20 feet of an unfinished basement (poured concrete) wall that is my shop. I'd like to add one 20A circuit with 3 or 4 outlets. There is a panel with space on the opposite wall. I know the conductors need to be protected from physical damage along the wall.
My question:
Is it acceptable and good practice to run 12/2 NM cable from the panel through the unfinished ceiling to a junction box above the wall and then use individual conductors in EMT from the junction box down and then horizontally across the wall (I've heard, read that it is hard to pull NM cable through conduit and it might be a violation if more than a certain distance).
I guess one more question. I know outlets in unfinished basement areas need to be GFCI protected. Can I wire it so I install one GFCI receptacle and the downstream ones are protected?
Thanks and any answers would be appreciated.
