Q:To be used as sole AFCI protection for a circuit, the NEC (2017) requires four conditions be met:
(1) Branch circuit wiring is continuous from the branch circuit overcurrent device (OCP) to the device
(2) Maximum length of 14 AWG conductors between OCP and device is 50 feet. For 12 AWG wire, max is 75 feet.
(3) The first outlet box (where this device is installed) must be marked (so future electricians know)
and
(4) "The combination of the branch-circuit overcurrent device and outlet branch-circuit AFCI shall be identified as meeting the requirements for a system combination-type AFCI and shall be listed as such."
What breakers are listed with this device to provide the protection?

A: My question cites the NEC 2017. It was not eliminated from the code.
UL has often stressed there were no breaker-device combinations listed as of last September.
Leviton should address this.

A: As far as I'm aware, UL has yet to develop/release the standard to which manufacturers can submit their products to be tested against.

A: No special breaker is required to be matched to an ARCI receptacle to comply with the code. Any standard breaker will suffice.

A: The protection designation is intrinsic to the design spec's of the receptical itself. A standard breaker, therefore, is the answer when theses requirements are to be met.

A: Any manufacturer's standard single pole 15 or 20 amp breaker is fine. It's interesting to note that the NEC referenced AFCI receptacles several years before any manufacturer even had them developed and on the market.

A: #4 That is in the process of going away, I don't know if they have issued the update, but it is out of the 2017 NEC. There is no " ULlisted" System combination circuit breaker. So use any branch circuit breaker. Most AHJ will allow you to use the 2017 NEC, even if your state has not adopted it, like CA.

Q:Does this need to be connected to a combination afci/gfci breaker? or can it go to a standard breaker?

Answer This Question
A: If you have a Dual Function AFCI/GFCI circuit breaker you don't need this device. This device should be connected to a standard single pole breaker.

A: Connect to any circuit protection device, breaker or fuse, and it will do its job.

A: This device acts as an AFCI/GFCI so it does not need to be put on a breaker that already provides that protection, though it certainly can be.

A: This can be used as stand-alone or feed thru, and the overcurrent device can be a standard breaker. The NEC states where the device is placed in an individual circuit, under different circumstances. However, It can be used as a direct replacement for an existing GFCI or regular receptacle.

Q:Adding USB to this would have been smart suggestion to charge my devices. Any other suggestions on similar products that do have USB and include these same features?
by|Jul 25, 2016

Answer This Question
A: You can just place one of these at the home run of the circuit you want to protect, and place USB outlets everywhere else on it. You don't need to replace every individual receptacle with these. It would probably be too hard to fit USB ports on top of the AFCI/GFCI functionality of the faceplate - physically, where could you place them?

Q:I read an article that said metal conduit/armored cable to the first receptacle was required to install this receptacle according to code requirements - that Romex cable made this receptacle unsuitable. Is this information correct? Or does it apply only to new construction? I would like to install these receptacles in my apartment which was built in 1953.
by|Jul 9, 2016

Answer This Question
A: These Dual Function devices were not available till the last couple of years. The other answers referencing the 2014 code change were for AFCI receptacles. The NEC did change in 2014 to allow NM cable (aka Romex) to be used for the homerun to an AFCI receptacle. That change now also applies to these newer Dual Function AFCI/GFCI devices.
by|Feb 16, 2021

A: New construction and new circuits. Otherwise, install at the 1st outlet of the circuit used.

A: You are correct. The other 2 answers are incorrect. Neither 2011 or 2014 NEC allowed romex. 210.12 (5) Very clear. Google it, or check with MikeHolt.com

A: 2014 NEC changes allow for Romex to be used in place of metal conduit. You can learn more at www.leviton.com/afci.

A: That's from the 2011 NEC. The 2014 NEC permits NM cable as long as it's less than a certain distance from the panel, (50 feet, I believe? Verify that before installing, please). Of course, your local jurisdiction may still be on 2011.
