Many states have similar exemptions where GFCI' or AFCI's can be omitted, I bet @wwhitney could write it up professionally and summit a PI, indeed that was no final draft just getting the idea out there.
Someone on here was posting about MA has a standard form for unwanted tripping an electrician can fill out ?
The current exception in Oregon reads as follows:
210.12 Exception No. 3: AFCI protection shall not be required for optional, dedicated outlets that supply equipment
known to cause unwanted tripping of AFCI devices.
I never had to use the exception but its there and I am sure EC's use it, all thats required is the EC to state its 'known to cause unwanted tripping' So I doubt they would want more than that from a similar proposal. We'll see.
