The manufacturers do not make it clear that AFCIs cannot detect series arcs, such as those resulting from an oxidizing connection, until they progress to a ground fault which draws at least thirty milliamperes. If the arcing connection does not cause a ground fault the AFCI cannot detect it and the heat it generates can kindle a fire. They can detect a parallel arc such as when a screw penetrates a cable and causes a high resistance arcing fault between the current carrying conductors. Such parallel arcs are not that common. -- Tom Horne "This alternating current stuff is just a fad. It is much too dangerous for general use." Thomas Alva Edison . |
