The Standard arc fault breakers were called branch/feeder type arc fault breakers. Keep in mind that Combination type AFCI breakers are not a combination of GFCI and AFCI protection. The Combination type AFCI breaker combines both parallel arc protection and series arc protection.hen you say STANDARD arc fault breaker, do you mean a breaker without a test button on it, that is, a simple $4 single pole overcurrent / short circuit protective circuit breaker? It seems you are asking what rooms and areas of a dwelling does 210.12 require the combination type AFCI to be installed for. Yes?
