Guys:
The AFCI calls and questions from the EC's by phone are rolling in. Yes, different interpertations abound and it seems like there are 'different' code books floating around.
I printed 210.12 from the '08 Handbook, with commentary and the Sq D pic, and I hand it to any EC, foreman, etc., that has any interest. That's what I enforce. No HVAC feeders, No sub-panel feeders, No baseboard heaters, No pool feeder/branch, etc. Not required for service upgrade, or panel change. "Qualified Rehab" jobs don't require them either.
