How much GFCI protection is inherent in a 2013 AFCI Breaker compared to todays AFCI/GFCI breaker? Customer has an outside recessed wall light that has the glass behind the louver removed.
GE Mod.3 was the first AFCI breaker to pass UL1699 without any ground fault feature.How much GFCI protection
Unfortunately the customer had the glass lens removed because the fixture was accumulating too much moisture. He would rather live with the risks involved and use some GFCI protection as a Hail Mary pass.Ten years is a lot of time in the that style of breaker.
I would be more inclined to repair the fixture than to rely on CBs to save life/property or prevent a shock.
Weep holes.Unfortunately the customer had the glass lens removed because the fixture was accumulating too much moisture. He would rather live with the risks involved and use some GFCI protection as a Hail Mary pass.
I wouldn't be concerned with GFCI protection since it has a louver over it.Unfortunately the customer had the glass lens removed because the fixture was accumulating too much moisture. He would rather live with the risks involved and use some GFCI protection as a Hail Mary pass.
It looks like some nice size weep holes were already drilled into bottom.Weep holes.
