It's common in the US to build interior basement walls on masonry using furring strips covered with sheet rock. Is there a proper way to add electical outlets to these walls and is it required by code?

This forum has a US section and US members, thread moved.You should focus on American forums, as UK standards follow the EU standards pretending that its theirs.
As some of the fundamentals of European Wiring safety (Comparison betwee currents flowing in and out) have Comunistic origins (even though unused in Russia itself), the USA is considerably behind in accepting them. This means that USA needs alternative forms of protections to compensate for it, which are no longer needed in Europe

There are diferences between following and copying. And many people disagree with ring Circuit because of the issues it cames with (but removing it from regulation has been discussion on a board for years, but its known that older electricians are proud of it because its theirs ? (Mine first smiley this year).as UK standards follow the EU standards pretending that its theirs.
since when? EU don't use ring finals or fused plugs as in the UK.

RCDs are based on a research from east germany and Nacis research on live subjects in concentration camps which have then been applied (in East Germany) soon after the war. Inspection order has been common place in Austria since 1970s (and in countriers near by as an effect) in near the same order as done now. The fire rating regulations in DB was in many countries the original regulation with Plastic only in exceptional circumstances (EG in Slovakia/Germany/Austria in simple terms, if there are acessible main switchis within a reasonable reach) You will find most of the fundamentals are predated in Europe, But that is fine. Britan gave benefits too.A very misinformed post.
yes, although since the limited current flow through the cpc this is less likely to give way (copper gives way very slowly, but it still does), but if you lose one of the cables in live or neutral (due to higher currents) then combined consumption is sustained without vysual signs (everything still works). I will leave you make your counterpoint (Which I will not answer), as this discussion has span now more then a decade and we will not solve it here.Not just older electricians. The RFC is a useful circuit. And also if there is a break in the CPC of a ring circuit then at least the earth is not lost completely. If a CPC becomes disconnected in a radial then the earth is lost to the following sockets.
