  • Arch faults are more sensitive and have no forgiveness, that is why most electricians don't like them. i have had problems with some of the cheaper builders grade fans, and if a home owner over loads the circuit with electronics, the arch fault does not like the eddy currents produced. for the most part i have not had that many problems with the square d home line. knock on wood.
