I'm redoing the kitchen and will have to rewire. As I understand I will need GFI as well as Arc fault protection on some of the circuits.
Question 1
Which items need both and which just need one or the other?
How about the lights?
Question 2 How do you add both types of protection on things that get hard-wired I'm assuming that I have to use a combination breaker. But maybe the dishwasher and disposal now need to be plugged in, just not sure.
Question 3 for the 20 amp outlets is it better to go with the combination Arc fault/GFI outlets, or an Arc fault breaker and a separate GFI outlet? Or an Arc fault/GFI breaker. I'm concerned about Arc fault being too sensitive.
Thanks for the advice.
