Suggest bonding the panel HR GEC to the box as best practice

Now this is a good tip! I just came across your page! I’m also an electrician and I’m doing code review and much much more on my page. I just subbed. Cheers! 🍻

I think afci's are a joke. They go bad in alot of instances after 4 years and have to be replaced.

Very informative. Thanks!

I somehow lost all my screws. They probably got put in a can when we took it off to change a breaker and who knows where they went. Make sure the tip isn’t sharp. The big wires like to hang out just behind the frame and you don’t want a screw poking on the cover for your incoming power. I have an old Westinghouse which apparently is now Eaton.

I had a LED light bulb that was going out. It was tripping the arc fault breaker.

Hey mate, thanks for the tip, I encountered an issue yesterday... IKEA led bulbs were tripping the arc fault interrupter 🤔

Very nice, thanks

Thanks bro. Very, very helpful video. Thanks a lot.

There are very few Canadian electrician channels. Please keep posting more videos. You have excellent communication and knowledge. Thanks a lot brother.

Holy crap dude! Why didn't you run this through the garage attic? It looks so ghetto. At the very least you should have run hard conduit.

You can find exact replacement Siemens cover screws in the circuit breaker aisle at HD or Lowes. Comes in a 6 pack. Square D as well but I think they’re interchangeable.

Do you have a link to the driver used?

yeah panel screws are a joke.. the manufactures change the threads over time which is absolutely ridiculous considering how unimportant the thread is relative to how important have the panel cover installed is. every manufacture's panel cover screws should be universal.

So just use AFCI outlets on the home run instead of AFCI breakers. Couldn't you just say that in 30s?

what do you think about the wafer lights and adding a dimmer? I had issues after installing the dimmer and Arc fault tripping

There's a special place in hell for electricians who cut ground wires short.

This is really interesting. And thank you for clarifying the loop allowance per code. That was throwing me off since in other jurisdictions it’s not allowed.

Very nice

I have same, when click the blue test button, it trips i reset but theres a yellow light. Now i click test button on other breakers and now te yellow light turns on for a coupke of seconds. What does it mean and how to turn off?

Sick

I've been going nuts with the new Siemens arc fault breaker in a new Siemens panel for a brand new microwave 1250 watt unit the contractor put a dedicated line in for this plus a new panel his price was $8794.50 yes i know i was a fool my arc breaker test does not have a Blue reset i'ts more gray - with i flip the breaker yellow shows the microwave works from seconds to minutes just flip a coin and guess what's next i have many trips up and down the stairs to the panel - i'm ready for the tut house - The state electrical inspector will be here in 2 days

I think the main issue is that Siemens uses shared commons. Other manufacturers isolate the commons since they can measure load on the hot line and account for (ignore) the sudden noise returned on the isolated common from noisy equipment. These little switch box units do account for that noise, and so do other manufacturers that have the common isolated by the breaker. That is why Siemens can make tandem and 2-Pole combo units to support multi-wire branch circuits. If you want to do shared common installations, then Siemens is the only option.

Thank you for sharing your hard work take care and Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 and Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸🍺🍺🍺

I have a CH panel. Tried a UPS and it kept tripping the AFCI. After moving it, now it still trips. Going to get a new one, but they are $65 bucks each! 😬

Thank you for the video - I did exactly this and the lights stay on the entire time. Any thoughts? Same switch via amazon.

Can’t you just use an arc fault plug? I’ve had to use them before bc the panel needed a bunch of tandems with no room for a arc fault breaker

Thanks for sharing. Can you also share the model number of the Leviton device?

Thanks for this - any links to where I can buy the connectors and driver please?

Dont you need a disconnect outside to protect the transformer or to work on the main panel? Also Is it okay to connect straight from transformer to a meter/main combo without a fused disconnect ?

So basically, the Leviton is less prone to false tripping than the Siemens. One word of caution. If you add this some distance from the breaker panel, the wire between the panel and the Leviton will not be protected.

What kind of cable is that?

my issue is with a fridge and when a vacuum is used

I also have used a remote Arc Fault device to solve the nuisance tripping however I would love to understand how to test Arc Faults and to know why we get these nuisance trips. I had one new pre built house where my job was to only install the service equipment and had a trip when one switch was used, I replaced the wire inside the wall to the light and still had the trip. I chased the entire circuit for a week and it finally just stopped tripping. I did find the home builder used fluorescent bulbs in the attic light and I did replace them when the trip stopped. But how am I sure this was the problem? The house initially powered up fine but within a week the tripping started when on the customer tried to use the dinning room light but the fluorescent bulbs were in the attic. What was the relationship or what could have caused the arc fault trip? Naturally I could not charge the customer for the time spent as I was not convinced I had fixed the issue but a year later and no tripping. Crazy IMO

I have plenty of seamen, but they're harmless cause I had a Vasectomy yrs ago.😂😂😂

I will never see one of those in my house

How where to find RGBW Lights for application

This is not good news considering my supplier recently switched from Eaton to Siemens.

Never had issues with Siemens.
