I have a dwelling basement finish that has a lot of LED fixtures. We have a couple of AFCI protected branch circuits that go to a series of dimmers in six locations through out the basement. The six loads from the dimmers go to a closet where all of the drivers are located. As well as the low voltage wires going to the actual LED's.
I have an inspector telling me that there needs to be lockouts on the AFCI breakers because they are not in sight of the driver closet. I don't think they make a lockout like that for a GE AFCI breaker. Just two poles like for an appliance.
I can't seem to find a code reference that would require that. This inspector is one of the do all type. Framing, mechanical, electrical everything. I have not been back to the job to see the actual correction notice. So I'm not sure if he cited a code reference or not.
I'm going there in the morning but just wanted to see if I could get some input from this forum.
Thanks.
