Our house was built in 1960 and I am planning on upgrading the old two-prong receptacles that are still in the kitchen. There are two kitchen circuits, maybe four or five receptacles on each, and each circuit is served by a 20 amp breaker in the panel box. My plan is to install a GFCI/AFI receptacle at the beginningof each circuit, followed by 3-pronged outlest downstream for each.
Regarding the GFCI/AFI, since each circuit is controlled by a 20 amp breaker, then each of my GFCI's must also be 20 amp, correct? As opposed to using a 15 amp GFCI. Even though all the receptacles downstream will be of the 3-throng 15 amp variety.
Just want to make sure I purchase the appropriate GFCI/AFI for what I want to do. Tks.
