What are the 21 states that have amended the NEC to remove the AFCI requirement?

Good question- I have no idea but would like to know.
It says “see attachment”. Where did you get this document ?

Been scanning the documents, right now looking at testing 14 AWG copper clad aluminum. Why should residential electricians carry another wire size, & a additional assortment of 10A circuit breakers if added to the 2023 NEC is my question? There are more questions too.
Avoids most of the mistakes made when introducing aluminum wiring in the 1960s. The current draft bans them for use in receptacle outlets altogether.
I think that is answered here;What are the 21 states that have amended the NEC to remove the AFCI requirement?

There is at least one poster here who thinks USB level voltages will be the norm not all that far in the future.Been scanning the documents, right now looking at testing 14 AWG copper clad aluminum.

This is for lighting only. Worth mentioning that USB type C is limited to 5A.There is at least one poster here who thinks USB level voltages will be the norm not all that far in the future.
I think 10 Amp circuits are a solution to nothing.
Nice, good for them.Looks like if don't want any AFCI'S move to Utah, the only state to completely remove the requirement.
Michigan has removed the AFCI requirement for residential applications.What are the 21 states that have amended the NEC to remove the AFCI requirement?

Reading the report, I wonder what exactly happens to the surge protector. Does the joules go through the MOV instead of causing joule heating or something else? I assume most of them have a thermal fuse, right?
I assume that they are similar enough that they both can be detected by a surge protector, right?By joules they mean a high voltage surge of energy shunted by the arrestors.
Joule heating is where a high resistance at a splice causes current heating.
One words used to describe two different events.
