Unless there is a local code amendment to the NEC, AFCI/GFCI protection is not required on a service upgrade. If you extend the branch circuits more than 6', as in you moved the panel location, then AFCI protection is required.

It depends on what the adopted code is in Maine. If it's an unamended version of the NEC then yes it's not required.

There is a caveat to the 6'. I tried to get them to extend the distance but I did get them not to include the distance of wire inside enclosures, etc.

"This measurement shall not include the conductors inside an enclosure, cabinet, or junction box."

Is there a difference between the two that changes the code requirement? Either way you do not measure what's in the enclosure, cabinet, or box.
