In dwelling units, they are NOT required in garages, attics, crawl spaces, bathrooms, outdoors, and home offices. Nor are they required on circuits over 20 amps.
In dormitories, they ARE required in bathrooms.
AFCI protection is required to protect the entire branch circuit, not just the outlet or receptacle, like GFCI protection.
Kind of shows up the lie that is AFCI regulations. If it was really that important, and did anything, it would be required on ALL branch circuits.
Are attic branch circuits magically immune to arc faults? Or outdoor branch circuits, etc?
