== AFCIs warm? ==
I took infrared pictures of my panel and found that the AFCIs were warm. [[File:AFCIs Infrared.jpg|thumb
None of the other breakers were, and no special loads are on those circuits, certainly not on both of them. Curious if that is inherent to the design and how much energy is wasted by whatever heats them up. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tenbergen|Tenbergen]] ([[User talk:Tenbergen#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tenbergen|contribs]]) 23:07, 12 January 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
* this "thermal image" looks suspicious. Note the sharp corner and edge transitions between hot and cold regions. Plus it would be better to take such an image with the cover removed.--

<s>It’s really amazing how much people use talk pages for electrical topics on Wikipedia to post DIY questions. I don’t think that’s what the tag pages for. Is there a talk page for the talk page where we can talk about these types of problems with the DIYers on the talk pages?</s>

Line 149:
Right now we have a nice summary of the US NEC requirements in 1999 and then new paragraphs for each year stating only the differences of how the Code changed from the previous revision. It is interesting as a history, but not so useful for people wanting to understand the present situation. It would be good if somebody merged them into a new first paragraph that summarizes the ''current'' state of the Electrical Code.

:NB: the version of the current electrical code adopted (required) varies by state, so I favor keeping the current presentation. [[User:Gorbag42|Gorbag42]] ([[User talk:Gorbag42|talk]]) 01:42, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
== arc lamps ==
There is a section on causes of false positive triggering. I do wonder, though, about arc lamps, such as fluorescent lamps or HID lamps, which obviously also have an arc. Do they avoid them, and if so, how? [[User:Gah4|Gah4]] ([[User talk:Gah4|talk]]) 10:06, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
