Testing Arc Fault (AFCI) Breaker on Real Load
Ever wondered how well AFCI breakers work? Here was a test I did using a 800W resistive load (so only 6A!) showing how an AFCI tripped due to a loose terminal on a plug.
(Note - breaker was plugged into another GFCI for additional protection here, and due to camera zoom it looks like I'm closer, don't try at home etc!)
