installing 3wire receptacles on 1960 home that has 2 wire without ground wire

[J R]

Does it have to be G.F.C.I receptacle first and regular 3 wire TR receptacles down stream and A.F.C.I protected or GFCI receptacle only then 3wire TR down stream.

The last time we made that decision, we AFCI the start of the circuit at the panel, device type, then GFCId at the receptacle location as needed. TR.

Your options are:

*gfci/afci (DFCI) breaker, then 3wire recs

*gfci breaker, then obc afci receptacle, then 3wire recs

*afci breaker, then gfci receptacle, then 3wire recs

* obc afci/gfci(DFCI) receptacle, then 3wire recs- this works when the panel won't accept afci breakers.......

If the panel is one that still available or has been absorbed into those that are still available today - you might even consider dual function breaker. If you are doing a panel change as part of the overall project - I'd likely go that route most of the time.

Definitely a better option, my post dealt with a lovely Pushmatic.
