I saw these two videos on YOU Tube when watching that video in the Nostalgia forum I saw these two videos;
AFCI and
Not working did not trip! note that they both
appear to have been uploaded by an old well-known ECN member.
In the video two of those Motel-Room hairdryers are shown being dropped into sinks full of water, now considering the two-wire cord, and the all plastic plumbing, why would doing this trip a GFI? there'd be no path to ground, until you stuck your hand in, right? and why is the other video titled "AFCI" no AFCI's are shown, is the poster trying too say that the hairdryer-in-the-sink would've tripped an AFCI? I didn't see any arcing, nor any other reason that an AFCI would've tripped.
comments anyone?
