GFCI breakers as well as their close cousins AFCIs are still being sold and bought at hardware stores.
A quick browse of www.homedepot.com and www.lowes.com shows that both of them sell GFCI breakers online and in the stores local to me. Moreover, the UL website (www.ul.com) doesn't say anything about GFCI breakers being delisted, and _does_ mention GFCI breakers as one of three types of GFCI devices. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mikea () mikea ath cx Tired old sysadmin
