Hi,
Actually after looking at my post i will stand behind that!
"There is no requirement to retrofit existing installations with AFCI." There is no restrictions on doing it.
that means to go back and re-fit the circuit with AFCI..NO REQUIREMENT TO DO THAT...THERE is a requirement to do that IF YOU ADD TO OR EXTEND THE CIRCUIT! WHY else would they say on new installations? New as used in the code is a reference to time...it means after right now in time... not a new receptacle you just bought! anything before right now is OLD..
the key word is EXISTING AND RETROFIT...I SAID NOTHING ABOUT NEW..your going to have to try and twist a little harder..i guess you got upset because I called you/commented about your comments on motors not be classified as continuous! That is speaking with a forked tongue...just another way to call someone a liar. I guess your an old hand around here and people just accept what you say as gospel...i am sorry if i stole your thunder! I hope you are not upset and we can still be friends! It's all in good fun..no hard feelings ok? I am the kind of guy who is not afraid to stand up and be heard even in a place where there are obviosuly some very knowledgable folks...if your wrong most of the time it will get pointed out..i just dont beleive everything i hear!
right?
-regards
Greg
