AFCI on 30 amp Branch Cir.

[Cletis]

In the 2014 code cycle can I run all 30 amp circuits to all my items in a single family dwelling such as kitchen items (disposal, dishwasher, countertop rec, etc) , some lighting lighting, some outlets and put on single pole 30 amp OCPD with NO AFCI protection and will it pass ???

NO , in general.
Are you for real. You would run # 10 Just to save on a AFCI if you could? Did you consider Make-up time and costs?

You will need to use 30 amp devices ,You won't find regular receptacles that are rated for 30amp

Nice Try:roll:

You would not get rejected on 210.12, but you would on 210.21 for lighting an countertop and probably 430 or 110.3(b) for disposal & dishwasher.

Was thinking more for kitchen on hardwired items such as dish, disposal etc...I can use these 30 amp rated rockers for lighting. Receptacles may be hard to figure out but working on

Would these work if I Installed in the jbox and made a #12 copper tap off load side of hot to device maybe ? Assuming the fuse is rated for branch circuit protection of course ???? This would be around $2 per jbox with little extra install time
