Protection requirements for branch circuits and AFCI/GFCI protection are found in which NEC article?

• A. Article 200
• B. Article 210
• C. Article 230
• D. Article 240

Answer: (B)

This is testing where the NEC specifies protection for branch circuits and the AFCI/GFCI requirements. Those rules live in NEC Article 210, which covers branch circuits and the protective devices that serve them, including AFCI protection for most dwelling-unit circuits and GFCI protection for receptacles in designated locations. The other articles focus on different areas: Article 200 covers general definitions used throughout the Code, Article 230 deals with services and service equipment, and Article 240 governs overcurrent protection for conductors and devices.
