After review of most (not all) of the information within the two threads regarding AFCI, I made a choice on the further use of the video info I use in my classes.
Within the NEC classes, until the powers that be remove the combo designated requirements, I have to reference the Code requirements. However, I will add, as my commentary, that this technology may be flawed, and reference back to some of the subject matter in this thread.
Within my Basic class, some of the subject matter that has been included within this thread will be offered, along with the fact that this is still a NEC requirement.
That said, as AHJ, I have no recourse at the present time but to require these devices.
