Scott:
I found the following NEMA Code Alert for Arizona, referring to the City of Phoenix Code and discussing expanded ground fault and arc fault circuit interruption protection. The NEMA site talks about expanded GFCI and AFCI use for most Phoenix residents, but the section on GFCIs and AFCIs tracks the 2008 National Electrical Code pretty well. The only major deviation that I see is an effectivity date of January 1, 2008 for combination-type AFCIs in bedrooms per E3802.12. Otherwise, this article tracks the 2008 National Electrical Code Article 210.12. See the linked “Code Alert: Arizona, 29 May 2009” from NEMA on the City of Phoenix Electrical Code. http://www.nema.org/stds/fieldreps/codealerts/20090529az.cfm Then, click on Phoenix Residential Code (link below): http://www2.iccsafe.org/states/Phoenix2006/Phoenix_IRC/residential_frameset.htm Go down to “Chapter 38” on the left hand side, and click the link. When the PDF opens, look for Section E3802, “Ground Fault and Arc-Fault Circuit-Interrupter Protection.” Best regards, Don Gies, N.C.E Senior Product Compliance Engineer Alcatel-Lucent Murray Hill, NJ 07974-0636 USA Member, Alcatel-Lucent Technical Academy ________________________________ From: Scott Douglas [mailto:sdougla...@socal.rr.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 10:03 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: GFCI Outlets in Phoenix, AZ Anyone aware of a new law/regulation in Phoenix, AZ requiring GFCI or residual current devices for every outlet in the home? Don’t have much more to go on other than they may also have a limit of 1,000 W for these outlets. Please somebody tell me it ain’t so. Or worse, please tell me the details. Thanks for any comments.
