would, square d qo or qob. others talk like afci's are a joke, all while cheap brand standard breakers are as well, why use breakers at all then?
If you've have read anything on this board about AFCIs you can't come away believing anything other than they are a joke. We aren't just blowing smoke because we "just don't like them". We undoubtedly have the most educated people in the industry here who have weighed in with the facts, from how AFCIs got started, the rigged UL standard that that is used to say that they work, and how the NEC was manipulated by manufacturers into making AFCIs mandatory so the manufacturers could use those sales profits from a bogus product to try and develop one that will work. So far they have yet to succeed. AFCIs are the biggest fraud on the American public ever. In the almost 20 years this has been going on, it has yet to be proven that they have saved even one life.
