Question: Hey Everybody,So it has been brought up in discussion is the shop that when calculating minimum branch circuits in a dwelling that bathrooms should either A- each have a separate circuit, B-all bathrooms should at a minimum be circuited together or C-none of the above (bathrooms do not need separate circuits in any way by current NEC standards) This has no bearing on architectural or engineer design just minimum code standard. If there's something in there pertaining to this could you specify the article number.Thanks All

NEC Article 210.11(C)(1) states that:> Bathrooms. Bathroom branch circuits shall supply only receptacle outlets and lighting outlets located in the bathroom(s) in addition to any other outlets permitted by other sections of this Code. Flag for review
