That makes sense too; the spark jump from the brush to the armature in the motor would be enough to induce a trip. Unfortunately it’s the same manufacturers who are making the products who compose the board which write the code. They can add anything they want to the code, will and have. Take a look at the number of receptacles now required through a house and the double GFCI kitchen circuits, the number of required receptacles in mandated areas, the separate dedicated circuits now required for the microwave, a tub spa motor and another for it's heater if installed, the circuit for the smoke detectors and all that extra wire now required to drive all those gadgets they have created and require to be installed.
Has it increased the safety of the home? Perhaps - to a very small degree it has, but it certainly does not justify making it a forced requirement. The required locations for receptacles now goes far beyond legitimate safety and moves into the realm of optimal wiring which is where they want every house to be in order to sell everything they create, they will soon justify optimal through safety in anyway they can concoct.
I'm glad I'm going off-grid and will be using many DC circuits that the code makers haven't had a chance to address in-depth yet nor have they had the chance to make many products for the circuits. It; time manufacturing interests will dominate the codes in that area too.
This is a good example as to why the constitution outlined how we elect people to government who are suppose to make the laws through votes etc and how when we allow the laws process to be abridged through ADOPTED codes it fails dead in its tracks and represents only special interest.
