1)Will manufacturers be producing AFCI breakers for older style panels,or will there be some sort AFCI unit which can be used with older/obsolete breaker panels and/or fuse panels?


2)This is a question that was posted as a reply to another AFCI question.

I will be called upon this summer to swap out a 60amp fused panel to a 100amp breaker panel. Last summer when I was first called over to give a quote on swapping out the service they also wanted all recp's and light sw's replaced with the decora style. So I factored in gfci breakers for the upper floor bedrooms recp's which are only 2 wire circuits (no ground), this would allow me to use 3 prong outlets on ungrounded circuits with out having to try and rewire the top floor. Will these bedroom circuits require AFCI protection?
