[treyp3]

Does anyone have any insight into the arc fault testing equipment that is supposed to help with trouble shooting? Is it helpful?

Yeah. I've always wondered how someone would/could cause an arc to test the breaker in normal day to day life.

If you find something for DC please help over here;

DC arc fault detection instrument/tool

Good Day, Most inverters are running DC arc fault detection and shut the inverter off when the system declares a DC arc fault. With long strings the DC arc fault could be in any of the approx. 40 MC4 connectors. Is there a DC arc fault detection instrument/tool that I can insert in series...
