Well, I just a buddy of mine that is done ranting and raving about the NEC 2008, Local CITY electric codes, and the STATE codes!!
Rumor has it that the City and State boards dont 'get along' too well, so the city doesn't adopted all the state amendments to the NEC.
One issue that came up was the requirement on AFCI'S. Looks like one city has adopted the NEC 2008, and another city has NOT accepted the full NEC, because they accepted the STATE code that has limited the requirments of AFCI'S.
I know I wish It was just simple and every city follow the state amendments, but it doesnt always work that way. too many politics in adopting ELECTRICAL codes.
