Скачать или смотреть Arc Fault Breakers: Why I NEVER Mix Lighting & Receptacle Circuits

Arc fault breakers (AFCIs) are designed to protect against dangerous arcing faults — but mixing lighting and receptacle circuits on the same arc fault breaker can lead to nuisance tripping, confusing diagnostics, and wasted service time.

In this video, I explain exactly why I never mix lighting and receptacle circuits when using arc fault protection, show a real-world troubleshooting case, and share best practices based on the 2024 Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC).
