Just a shower thought, I am a journeyman electrician in Canada. 26-720 (h) states that no outlet shall be in a cupboard, cabinet or similar enclosure without being de-energized when the door is closed. There are some exceptions like microwaves and things that are built in. However in my career I have seen many outlets in cabinets for Xbox’s, sound systems and things like that. I’ve never heard of an inspector failing for this. A client asked me to put an outlet below their vanity to have their toothbrush charging out of sight, I said it would need to be de-energized when the door is closed.
Has anyone else done something like that? Or why is it allowed in living room built ins but not in bathrooms. I understand doing that for toasters and things that generate heat.
