GFCI not compatible with AFCI

[M. D.]

I saw this About a week or two ago ,. and it is bugging me. Has anyone seen where a GFCI rec. outlet is marked as incompatible with an AFCI protected circuit???

In situations calling for both GFCI and AFCI protection, be sure the breaker is specifically listed for the dual purpose of both fault situations. Many GFCI outlets are not compatible for installation on AFCI protected branch circuits.

I have not but I thought the article was saying to make sure the AFCI breaker was compatible with the GFCI outlet. This makes absolutely no sense since the manufacturers do not make 2 separate AFCI breakers.

Personally I think they got a mistake in this article. I wonder if they were thinking about the GFCI - AFCI breakers.

I think it is entirely wrong no mater which way you look at it.
