The 02' ROP's were swampped with requests , mostly from what looked like inspectors,for what leviton now offers in a lockout GFI.
Leviton did'nt surprise me in that most manufacturer's are probably privy to, or somehow involved in the ROP,ROC process.
GFI's track record will probably be paralleled to AFCI's, and i hav'nt seen a tester yet, have you?
The AFCI deal is by far a 'tail waggin' the dog' deal to me , a cheap fix bandaid for future mishaps at best, or those bad installs that are blamed on our trade despite circumstances.
Anyone who's been on scene whatching accelerants ruled out of a smoking cellarhole only to have the guys with the white helmets shrug it off as electrical know stat's lie.
I have nothing against safety,i can pass these costs on, but i'd like to orate without a shred of vocal doubt the justifications to my customers.
Know that safety is BIG biz in this country. And if safety is everyone's biz, then everyone should be looking into the biz of safety.
{anyone what to beat up UL2200???}
I find the AFCI ad's showing a fireman hauling a little girl out of a fire offensive to this end.
