This is a travesty

You trust FPE to fail to function more often than an AFCI?

Stop being a tool. It was a joke.

 

[peter d]

:lol:

Are those 10 pack cases of AFCI? What the heck are you wiring, an entire neighborhood?

12 unit condo building. My boss is on the Square D buying program at the distributor in this area.

Both were laboratory rigged to give the results UL wanted to see...

That's right. :thumbsup:

New or upgrade?

Brand new luxury condos.

Not even the rich are being spared by their own corruption. :lol:

No, they are paying for it. :thumbsup:

What a waste and a shame. I'd like to see the figures for dollars per life saved for afci's vs feeding starving children in Africa, or any number of other things.

They are nothing more than an electrical scam. It's a massive waste of time and labor to install them for zero benefit whatsoever.

That is truly satisfying to hear Even nice when they start tripping on those expensive hand crafted Italian electronics

That's the part I don't like, because we get stuck going back and changing them out. :rant::rant:

What, that all those arc fault breakers are taking up to much room in your van?

Van tripled in value when those were loaded into it.:blink:

With 60+ cases there, you may not be far off!

 

[peter d]

Almost 150 AFCI's on this job alone, do the math.

You're not alone on this. :happyno:

Changing them out to what?

Awesome thread. I agree: we're forced to install them, then sound like idiots trying to explain to the tenants why their breakers are constantly tripping, and how if after they own the property, if they want them removed, a little bird might agree to do it.
