I wired up a Master Suite. I ran a 14/2 , off the master plug ckt. to the fire place. This wire is for the fire place ignitor. When th H.O. starts the fire place, the AFCI breaker trips. I have replaced the breaker and metered for faulted nuetrals. All is O.K. The fire place guy tells me that ignitors on some new fire places trip AFCI breakers.
Has any one else encountered this? New code reqiures me to put every bed room outlet on an AFCI breaker. My partner argues that a fire place outlet is not accessible, and therefore is exempt from the new rule.
The inspector called me on this. Any thoughts? What am I doing wrong?
