I just came up with a new plan to make me rich and un-famous. I'm going to go to each and every house in my area and tell the homeowners and businessmen that the electrical code has changed and now I want them to install AFCI and GFCI protection on all the circuits that are now required to have said protection. I want EGC's installed in all homes that currently have the 2-wire ungrounded system. Yea, that will happen.Oh, I almost forgot GFP on all 480v. systems over 1200a.
Did you catch the one about AFCI's on existing circuits?? Message here- adding an outlet to a bedroom circuit does not require AFCI protecting the circuit no more than adding a feeder or branch circuit requires adding GFP to an existing 480v. 1200a.Service. Now installing a NEW bedroom circuit requires AFCI on that circuit. The rule is a branch circuit requirement.
