AFCI confusion 210.12 dwelling

[jap]

In my opinion, using GFCI receptacles for protection of downstream outlets is a design failure. This has become a common service call for me.
The customer is complaining a loss of power in several outlets and can't restore power. The GFCI receptacles are always hidden behind furniture, and no labels found on outlets.

With all the wild and time consuming service calls I go on, I find being able to simply push a reset button and save the day very refreshing at times.
