hello,
I performed a search here and didn't find what I was looking for, so here goes...
I've looked at the code when it comes to using the AFCI breakers...I've been told that each room is to have a dedicated circuit protected by the AFCI, however, I don't get that from the code sections regarding AFCI protection...it states that certain rooms need to be protected, but no where does it state that each bedroom needs to have its own home run...
I'm about to rough a 2 family dwelling, the rooms are so small and only have 3-4 receptacles per room, so I can't imagine running a home run for each room...a retired inspector told me each one had to be a home run...but that's not what the code book says...
anyone have any clarification on this?
am I just reading the code wrong?
maybe I missed something...
