AFAIK, the only recognized 'test' is via the test button on the AFCI CB!

The last time I spoke to Sq D re: the CH breakers; they answered very quickly...NO. Speaking to CH, they said "the breaker is recognized for use in SQ D panels"

Can you get another 14/2 up to your splice box?



I saw on a website where they sell AFCI testers. I assumed it was similiar to the tester for GFCI where you plug it into the receptacle and push the button and it should trip the gfci. How are inspectors testing the outlets in bedrooms?

No I cannot get another wire up. House is sheetrocked, patched and painted. It was tight as it is to get that 14/3 up.

Like I stated earlier, I believe I put a jbox in the attic so I could put the 14/3 in a box than split off with 14/2. I will probably have to just knix the red wire and use one circuit for both bedrooms.
