Just curious, is the new electrical panel full of 120V 15 and 20amp AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) breakers?
Quote:
As of the 2014 version of the NEC,[4] combination type AFCI circuit breakers are required on all branch circuits supplying outlets or devices installed in dwelling unit kitchens, family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sunrooms, recreation rooms, closets, hallways, laundry areas, or similar rooms or areas. This requirement is typically accomplished by using a kind of circuit-breaker (defined by UL 1699) in the breaker panel that provides combined arc-fault and overcurrent protection. Not all United States jurisdictions have adopted the AFCI requirements of the NEC as written.
