I want to start building a mining rig. Was planning on installing a 20 amp breaker for it, but im not sure if it has to be arcfault or not?

I tried to search it but couldnt really find anything on it. Also i know the new code recently came out so im not sure if it indicates about mining rigs or not. Ive heard though the arcfault would trip a lot if it was on an arcfault breaker? but what is the code for something like this? Its going to be in an unfinished basement.

Thanks in advanced

My friend you don’t need an AFCI for the type installation that you need. AFCI are mainly for single family dwelling and are required for bedrooms and hall ways. Good luck with your project
