Question: is gfci required for sump pump?
Answer: There is no NEC requirement for GFCI protection for a sump pump. ... If the location of the sump pump *receptacle *requires GFCI protection then you must have GFCI protection. If the sump pump were located in an area where non-GFCI receptacles are permitted then you wouldn't need GFCI protection for the pump receptacle.
