Are 30 A QO and HOM CAFI breakers available?

Issue:
What is the maximum amp rating of QO CAFI and HOM CAFI breakers?

Product Line:
Circuit Breakers

Resolution:
No, they are not available at 30 A. In dwellings, NEC article 210 requires combination arc fault circuit interruptor protection for specific branch circuits rated 15 A and 20 A. It is not required for higher amp circuits (such as 30 A). Therefore QO CAFI and HOM CAFI breakers are available in ratings of 15 A and 20 A only.
