CAFCI on dedicated circuit

[deckscrew]

Is it OK to use an AFCI breaker on a dedicated circuit? The microwave and furnaces are on dedicated circuits. The reason I ask is that the local supply houses didn't have enough CAFCI breakers due to the current supply chain issues. They did have some AFCI's (Outlet Branch Circuit type AFCI) available.

Wow They must have some old stock,
210.12(A(2) does allow you to use the generation 1 (non-combination) AFCIs in conjunction with a listed outlet branch circuit AFCI to meet the 210.12 requirement.

Thanks for the reply. But what if there are no outlets downstream. Do you have to use a AFCI device outlet?

Yes If it's a AFCI required location.
