| Jan 6, 2021 at 16:26 | comment | added | George Anderson | Geeze "no sparks please". Are you the grammar cop now? "It" in a sentence would normally refer to the noun most recently used, which in my case was the "2020 code" in the previous sentence. The OP specifically asked about changes made or proposed in the 2017 or 2020 code. I believe my comment (not even an answer) contributed. | |

| Jan 6, 2021 at 16:18 | comment | added | NoSparksPlease | @GeorgeAnderson Yes the AFCI requirements are much more restrictive, and convenience of location of the gfci can be a practical consideration. The answer to the previous question specified what he would do, but doesn't even seem to address the actual question, and I can't even be sure what the pronoun "it" in the comment even refers to. | |
| Jan 6, 2021 at 15:59 | comment | added | George Anderson | Also, there may be some confusion on the 2020 code. It requires nearly everything to be AFCI protected at the main panel, not GFCI protected. So say for a kitchen circuit, you'd have an AFCI breaker in the panel and a GFCI outlet first in the circuit. When wiring my sons new home, he decided on combination GFCI & AFCI breakers, so there were no GFCI outlets needed. I cautioned him that nuisance trips would require a trip to the panel, but he was OK w/that. | |
