You can omit AFCI protection, where: A listed conduit or tubing is encased in at least 2 in. of concrete for the portion of the circuit between the branch circuit overcurrent device and the first ...

Generally, the Art. 210 requirements for branch circuits are prerequisites for applying requirements found elsewhere. This fact is exemplified by the overcurrent protection requirements [Sec. 210.20].

Branch circuit protection refers to circuit protection at the panel box. This is covered by UL 489, which requires higher short-circuit protection (interrupting capacity).

Article 430 of the NEC details motor branch-circuit requirements for short-circuit and ground-fault protection, as well as motor-overload protection.

Applications include whole rooms, entire 20 amp branch circuits, and sensitive electronics. FF1 Series surge filters have never experienced any surge-related failures, fires, downtime, or recalls.
