Greg, we've had a number of threads on the general topic of AFCi's, and I don't think it will help to go over that ground again.
I started this thread because a cursory glance at the changes proposed for the 2011 edition suggests that the NEC will allow the use of AFCI devices in more situations.
We also need to keep in mind that there truly are BILLIONS of dollars at stake here, as the NEC wavers back and forth. You simply cannot legislate 'progress.' Manufacturers are not about to risk their existance on chance - especially when they've been burned once already!
That's why I put the call out .... if anyone actually sees one of these 'now allowed' devices, I want to know about it.
