I am remodeling kitchen and bath. The new electrical code here in CA requires a number of things that are potentially harmful to our hobby. For example the use of arc-fault breakers. I know that one

Yes, I built a house in Lexington, Ky in 2011. At that time Eaton breakers were vulnerable to RF. The whole neighborhood was new development and every house around me were full of them. In addition t

Yes. I have. When we had an addition added to our home, I (and our youngest son) did all the wiring. We were "required" by city code to have arc-fault breakers in our bedroom circuits. I bought and i

Thank for the comments thus far. They have been helpful. I talked to a colleague today about his home renovation of 7 years ago. His AFCI's tripped on 160 and 80 (the only bands he uses) while runnin

Ordinary ground fault interrupters do that. Some of them are sensitive to RF, too. Arc fault interrupters, in addition, are supposed to detect arcing, which can start a fire. That's a good thing. Unf
