Is it permissible to install a GFI and a AFI on the same circuit? If so, is there a particular order in which one places them? In other words, coming from the Main breaker box to the wall outlet, does it matter if the GFI is placed in a service breaker box near the outlet or is the GFI always placed in the Main breaker box with the AFI in the service box near the outlet? I am installing a Jacuzzi in our bathroom with a service shut-off box in the bathroom closet. Although the GFI will definitely be on the circuit, I would like the added benefit of an AFI if such a setup is allowed. Thank you!
 
It will function fine however you do it. My main concern would be if it's good for the environment to waste material like that. :wink:
 
Outside GFCI receptacles are frequently hung off a bedroom AF protected branch. It works fine. Cutler Hammer makes a combo AF/GF breaker that performs both function BTW.
