Fellow Inspectors,
I see a lot of flips with upgraded (100) and up-sized (150-200) panels. Most of the time they are not adding arc fault protection on the required circuits.
When I ask the local inspectors, they say that if the new panel is located with in 6' of the previous panel, they do not require upgraded protection to the circuits.
At the same time they do require all outlets to be upgraded to tamper resistant. Is this a local thing or part of the NEC?
