ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Inspector/AHJ Question???

There are GFCI breaker testers and lots of company's make them and lots of ECs use them.

I suspect they work fine but the manufacturer says to test with the test button on the GFCI. I'll go with the manufacturer's recommendation, especially if it's cheaper and easier than an alternative solution.

I follow the same logic for the AFCI breakers. Test with the built in test button.
