[QUOTE="Tony S, post: 480605, member: 20864"] If a customer requests AFDD’s they must know something about them. Either that or it’s the latest must have to get one up on the Jones’s, more fool them if that’s the case. When I first read about them I thought they were a good idea. As you all know I spend time on US forums, they made me change my mind. Joe Engles (the father of AFCI’s (AFDD’s)) published a paper about their shortcomings and his regrets. The manufacturers held sway over the NFPA-NEC Code Making Panel and they entered the national code in a small way. Just as here a “recommendation” for bedrooms. Now a strange thing, AFCI’s are only required for 120V circuits. Not 240V (120-0-120) circuits? [/QUOTE]
