Re: [RE-wrenches] Arc fault questions.

I recently talked to the tech support folks at Magnum about AFCI breakers and they didn't know of a single one that would work with modified square wave inverters.  The AFCI requirement for all new residential construction may finally be the death of modified square wave inverters.  Kent Osterberg Blue Mountain Solar ----- Original Message ----- From: t...@hughes.net To: RE-wrenches Sent: Monday, May 31, 2010 6:32 AM Subject: [RE-wrenches] Arc fault questions. Can & will someone explain, why off grid inverters will cause nuisance tripping of the AF receptacle. Does anyone have "real" field information as to how this might be reduced or eliminated? How about  which AF receptacles are less likely to trip? TIA tump Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T _______________________________________________
