yup... no such thing as a nuisance trip. if the arc fault breaker trips something is wrong. Could be a bad breaker, or bad appliance but most likely something is miswired or damaged

its not always in the wall. old refrigeration compressors love to nuisance trip.

What amazed me was breakers have distance limits if it’s too many hundreds of feet away from the panel it’s not gonna trip 💀

that's all well and good until the lady can't do laundry because every time her washer goes into spin cycle it trips the arc fault in a brand new build and the washer plug is in the same room as the panel in the basement

This is cool. I had no idea there was anything in there except a bimetallic strip and some springs.

I love this. I've got gfci protected circuits for everything on the first floor of my house. Even though bare ground conductors were bundled in the box, I botched a new switch plate first try and it blew my mind even though I know the science.

amazing insights by looking from the transparent outside to the never seen inside. fascinating stuff.

I remember the Siemens arc faults not liking contractor grade refrigerators. they tended to trip every time the compressor turned on

Sometimes the Breakers are the problem. Usually it goes along the lines of a breaker that’s been tripping for a lot of years and keeps getting reset and eventually the connection for the Thermal becomes resistive and causes the breaker to warm up without over amping. It’s rare, but it happens.

Unfortunately in my line of work we find a lot of electrical problems the hard way.

In all fairness, from a journeyman electrician, not everyone has thousands of dollars to find their nuisance trip. Now that doesn’t mean they should bypass it but we also can’t act like everyone has a ton of money to spend either. Gotta find the middle ground.

So.... I had a fishy smell coming from near my kids couch. I thought they spilled food or drink and tore the couch apart trying to find it. Couldn't. Googled it. #1 answer said electrical. So I checked the outlets. One of them was 1000 degrees. I flipped the breaker, let it cool down and pulled out the outlet. The outlet had been backstabbed and ran in series with the rest. The backstabbing caused the connections to be loose over time and it was arcing inside the outlet and melting the insulation(the fishy smell). Glad I caught it before it caught my house on fire....but.... It never tripped my breaker.

Favorite phrase I always say when diagnosing anything electrical: the problem isn’t the problem, it’s the symptom of the problem.
