----tha box stores dont have them here and the inspectors are not going to let the ones they have be OKed. --


Why should they? This is good for us. Show a license, get the item. Fine with me!


--called all the local distributors and they all said they don't stock the combo AFCI. There is also some confusion about what the "combo" really means. Some manufacturers think it is AFCI/GFCI in one device, others share the NFPA definition (branch plus cord protection)--

another dilema.Who's selling? who's buying? who's inspecting?


--I found SquareD combo AFCI's in Menard's on 12/31/07. I thought maybe I saw some Siemens combo's as well. After all the problems that people are having with availability, I was very surprised to see about 30-40 combo breakers in stock. ---

Were they (sq D) "homeline" or "QO"? found any 2-poles?
