one could have broken the hot on plate steel and welded one's name with the first generation of afci's Reno...
they did get better with the 2nd generation, but they are still an inexact science as far as parameters go
and we are, imho, not a trade that really tolerates that well
nor would any business get far selling a product on nefarious definitions
quick q here, how many of you are stuffing panels, i mean the majority of breakers afci's out there?
it's common for me pack 30 into a 40 cir panel
that's $1200 (my cost) of afci's
now, what i want to know here, and i want to ask it of the EC's out there having to sell this is,
exactly what are you telling your customers who your informing of this cost?
and please don't fall back and hide behind the old 'it's the code' answer
customers don't buy blind authority any more than we do...
~S~
