Correct answer to question 4046
- C: At the first receptacle outlet or switch of the existing circuit
Explanation
The 2026 edition added the words or switch to 210.12(E), so the listed outlet branch-circuit AFCI may be at the first receptacle outlet or the first switch of the existing branch circuit. This gives more flexibility when the first outlet is a switch box.
