We do alot of new construction houses and we learned the hard way about a problem with AFCI breakers. Here it is: We were wiring a bedroom and since the bedroom had a door to a porch outside we decided to install a GFI outlet by the door, no problem right...
when the inspector came to do his thing he tested the GFI outlet by the back door with a GFI tester. before the GFI popped the AFCI breaker did. The AFCI breaker reacts faster than the GFI. Am I still code compliant? The inspector let it go. The moral is don't put GFI outlets on AFCI circuits.
