Subject - Arc Fault Breakers
odie Question
Can someone tell me what is inside of the arc fault breakers. With what I have read is that if works of the sine wave. So how does it open?
I know how a breaker or a ground fault works on the inside, but how not as of yet be inside of a arc fault breaker. Any one out there?
