GFCI and AFCI Requirements
5:41
GFCI and AFCI sound alike, get mixed up constantly, and protect against two completely different hazards.
In this lesson: GFCI (210.8) vs AFCI (210.12) — shock protection vs fire protection, the full location lists for dwellings and commercial buildings, the 6-foot sink rule, the new 2023 outdoor HVAC equipment rule, AFCI's 120V/15-20A scope, compliance methods, dual-function devices, the readily-accessible requirement, the shared-neutral trap, and how LOAD-side wiring protects downstream outlets.
Based on the 2023 NEC.
