The comment about ARC protection breakers is very timely. A few days ago I chatted with a building inspector and learnt about the new devices. However, since my permit was issued over 2 years ago he said that the old requirements apply. I also heard some negative comments about the new ARC protector units. Consequently I purchased the older breakers, and my electrician installed them yesterday, so too late for me. However the idea that the newer breakers would be helpful in cases of long surges is certainly interesting.

The new ARC breakers are hyper-sensitive, so perhaps some of the risk of damage may be reduced where they have been installed? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
