I somehow lost all my screws. They probably got put in a can when we took it off to change a breaker and who knows where they went. Make sure the tip isn’t sharp. The big wires like to hang out just behind the frame and you don’t want a screw poking on the cover for your incoming power. I have an old Westinghouse which apparently is now Eaton.

what do you think about the wafer lights and adding a dimmer? I had issues after installing the dimmer and Arc fault tripping

@energyoneelectric 3 ай бұрын

@ampelectric Arc fault Breakers are expensive so I try to minimize the amount I install by grouping only receptacles together. If you have led lighting in your arc fault circuit it may be contributing to the nuisance tripping, at least I felt it did in the past when I had some led strips on that same circuit.

I've been going nuts with the new Siemens arc fault breaker in a new Siemens panel for a brand new microwave 1250 watt unit the contractor put a dedicated line in for this plus a new panel his price was $8794.50 yes i know i was a fool my arc breaker test does not have a Blue reset i'ts more gray - with i flip the breaker yellow shows the microwave works from seconds to minutes just flip a coin and guess what's next i have many trips up and down the stairs to the panel - i'm ready for the tut house - The state electrical inspector will be here in 2 days

@energyoneelectric 3 ай бұрын

I know, it's so frustrating!!! That's why I changed brands and not looking back. I think the Siemens arc fault breakers got worse with each update. I personally have Siemens in my own house and nothing ever trips, but the breakers were an older model from about 4-5 years ago. I run saws and vacuums and all is good.

@@energyoneelectric I bought another Panasonic inverter microwave a different model than the last two no more breaker tripping - The one that gave all the trouble was in a beat up box maybe the internal parts were damaged ?

@Chris-so1tn 4 ай бұрын

I think the main issue is that Siemens uses shared commons. Other manufacturers isolate the commons since they can measure load on the hot line and account for (ignore) the sudden noise returned on the isolated common from noisy equipment. These little switch box units do account for that noise, and so do other manufacturers that have the common isolated by the breaker. That is why Siemens can make tandem and 2-Pole combo units to support multi-wire branch circuits. If you want to do shared common installations, then Siemens is the only option.

Yes you can use an arc fault receptacle. The feed to the arc fault receptacle will need to be protected (bx or conduit). That extra receptacle, however, may put you over your limit of 12 on the circuit.

Dont you need a disconnect outside to protect the transformer or to work on the main panel? Also Is it okay to connect straight from transformer to a meter/main combo without a fused disconnect ?

@energyoneelectric 5 ай бұрын

Disconnect is not required between meter and panel in this case. If you ever need to work on the panel mains you must call the utility company to shut off the power.

@ThomasMorrisBGKY 5 ай бұрын

So basically, the Leviton is less prone to false tripping than the Siemens. One word of caution. If you add this some distance from the breaker panel, the wire between the panel and the Leviton will not be protected.

@energyoneelectric 5 ай бұрын

According to code, that wire from the panel to the first arc fault device doesn't need to be arc fault protected. But it must be protected by conduit or bx.

You mean they are on the same circuit? According to current code a fridge in your kitchen must be on its own circuit or shared with other fridges in the kitchen. Vacuums are known to trip arc fault circuits because of the motor. Try setting up one of these arc fault devices, hope it helps.

I also have used a remote Arc Fault device to solve the nuisance tripping however I would love to understand how to test Arc Faults and to know why we get these nuisance trips. I had one new pre built house where my job was to only install the service equipment and had a trip when one switch was used, I replaced the wire inside the wall to the light and still had the trip. I chased the entire circuit for a week and it finally just stopped tripping. I did find the home builder used fluorescent bulbs in the attic light and I did replace them when the trip stopped. But how am I sure this was the problem? The house initially powered up fine but within a week the tripping started when on the customer tried to use the dinning room light but the fluorescent bulbs were in the attic. What was the relationship or what could have caused the arc fault trip? Naturally I could not charge the customer for the time spent as I was not convinced I had fixed the issue but a year later and no tripping. Crazy IMO
