Let me clearly break this thread into two sections, "Reporting" and "My Opinion."
Reno, if you
really wish to post inverstigative
reporting, you should start with the source(s) Dave Dini and Ray Marchand did a two part piece called 'The truth about AFCI's in NEC digest , about a decade ago.
These were two of CMP-2's 210-12 proponents, one an ex-UL man, the other an ex-square d rep
you could also reference the George Washington chapter of the IAEI about the same time, lot's of colorful banter to be had there
As to
opinion, you'll not find any that yanks the
lions tail (per se') in any trade mag. In fact a number of trade writers who
used to post in electrical chat rooms disappeared after being confronted on
this very topic, some pointing out forum disclaimers being their problem
One rarely finds an Op-Ed in
any trade mag that directly
confronts a manufacturer. And as this chat room is connected to one as well, it's rather obvious that any
opinion going down the same road will be met with disdain and rejection.
(and don't i know it)That said, truth is like little bubbles, eventually rising to the surface. This , i predict, will happen when enough of us (the folks that actually DO the work, not the shill cheerleaders) are over their heads in afci-mania
