Big Bird AFCI vs GFCI

[mrvette]

I'm a plumber, .

You see them new longer T-shirts to cover the ass crack?

I keep my posterior cleavage shaved so it's sexy.

Bird, AFCI is 210.12, A & B and GFCI is 218.8, A & B in the NEC.

One of the oftentimes (but not always) humorous things we run into is homeowner basement finishes wired by industrial electricians--armored cable & conduit but no clue about receptacle spacing or circuit requirements.

Eh, so what?? run a longer China/Walmart extension cord....jeez....woosie....

My 2005 NEC, section 210.12 says dwelling unit bedrooms required. You mean 2008 changed it to all? Crap.

So, SqD probably makes AFCI I could put in my 30 ckt box on a plug in basis?? I would maybe put them in for the old aluminum lighting circuits in the 3 bedrooms, but all the rest of the house is copper....

guess I gotta go fishing around....

Yup

I already upgraded my service once. That ain't happening again. I'll put them on the bedroom circuits, and that's good enough. I believe Anaheim is using 2005 still. :quote::thumbs:

Probably as long as you pigtail them with copper and the purple wing nuts. I doubt they are AL rated.
