Problems with Arc Fault Interrupter Circuits?
NJBA is hearing reports of problems with Arc Fault Interrupter Circuits (AFICs) and is looking for builders, remodelers, electricians, or any other members also experiencing problems so we can ascertain how large of an issue this is for the homebuilding industry. Most of the reports are centered around the false tripping of arc fault devices due to false reads, external sources such as ham radios, high efficiency street lighting, or other causes. Please contact Jeff Kolakowski at jeff@njba.org or 609-570-2166 if you are experiencing issues with AFICs.
