This page: http://www.hilo-electric.com/blank?pageid=63 suggests that 2008 code still *permits* them, but neither it nor the concurring Wikipedia article mentions then category having been delisted or manufacture-decontinued. And indeed, I had little luck with Google trying to find evidence of mass delistings of GFCI breakers. Cheers, -- jr 'are we off-topic enough, now? :-)' a
