had an inspector tell me today that he wants arc fault breakers installed where required if we change out the main panel in a residential house. we are doing no other work in the house. old FPE panel coming out.
210.12 doesn't say anything about if you change the panel or breaker you must install arc fault breakers - it only addresses changing or extending the existing branch circuit.
Anyone else have a different opinion?
