Arc Faults

[iwire]

WE HAVE A WINNER!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!

The guy I worked for bought some Siemens/Murray combos last Friday. And I may even get to install them. Wow...life is complete now.

OK....knowing what I have to offer.....what would you like? :grin:

Would you like a big hug? :grin:

Saw them today at Rexel. $50.00

The odd thing is that nobody is buying them. They are still buying the old ones. :roll:

Not just a big hug, but a big group hug from all my former coworkers!

CH supplier says they have the combination AFCI in as of today. Do not have one in my hand but...looks like I am humbled. Did not think it would happen for months yet.

And yes, an AFCI will trip on a neutral to EG fault. Help proved that several times today...just because they wanted to, after the first time.

Whats an arc fault?

When Lucifer disobeyed God and He in turn thrown the Arc-angel down from Heaven......

Washington State has said they won't delay the implementation of 210.12 as the AFCI combination circuit breakers are readily available.

It can be demonstrated that its availability is limited and it puts and undue burden on the public and it also supports unfair trade.

Yes, they have a different colored test button.

Siemens has different color test button and label. They are model AFCIc. Also several LEDs that indicate what type of condition caused the breaker to trip.
