does the Bar under counter refridgerator require AFCI protection? although in the family but the fridge is a dedicated sace
Yup. Remember, 210.12 is about outlets, which is defined in Article 100 Definitions. An outlet can be a duplex receptacle, single receptacle, luminaire, smoke detector, hardwired appliance (like a dishwasher or a baseboard heater), etc. If the outlet is 120 Volt 15 or 20 Amp in a designated area or room listed in 210.12, then the AFCI gets installed.
