During an on site inspection how do you know what and/or if arc flash breakers are compatible with the panel?
I have not been on site yet, but I would like to know what to look for and determine it on site. IE: Do I look for size? slots?........
I would think that once I have the serial number of the panel, I can verfiy on catalogues. But i am also concerned with whether the manufacturer still has information on older panels.
Finally same question but for breakers. What "type" of breakers are there?
How do you know which is for which panel? Or what breakers are used in what situation. I'm not asking about GFCI vs regular. More like
THERMAL MAGNETIC BREAKERS
MAGNETIC BREAKERS
CURRENT LIMITING AND SERIES RATED THERMAL MAGNETIC BREAKERS
SOLID STATE TRIP BREAKERS
I dont understand when you will use one over the other, and what are the major differences in them?
Thanks!
