Now I'm wondering how a large mfg could miss the boat on a great sounding test market. Actual in the field evaluation!

Supposedly, from my source down in the great Garden State the proto has a UL approval. Keep in mind that is undocumented.

you mean, like the efficy of the afci HotOne? Or in the broader scope, any code change?

well, Vermont's been on the afci trail now for more than most states if i recall, by rights a fair study

further, i'd be curious just what these afci receptacle outlets are listed for , maybe some enlightenment on that hazy 1699 for the breakers?

I originally heard all about the AFCI on thew way to a code update seminar by Jim Pauley in Punta Gorda (about an hour away). Harvey drove me up there and I met my wife there to go out to dinner afterward.
If I had known Jim was coming back with him I might have blown off the dinner wink

Google search makes me think it's 2008 NEC.
