=== Questions on AFCI behaviour under non-ideal power ''load''''Italic text'' conditions ===
And what of ''loads'' which are subject to drawing occasional transient current spikes ? For example an high-power audio amplifier fed from say an AM radio tuned to a weak station riddled with static interference. Could such loads cause nuisance tripping when AFCI's are utilized ?

* This is unlikely since your radio probably has a AC-DC conversion, and whatever noise on the AM station is unlikely to propagate backwards onto the power line due to power supply filtering. From the standpoint of a "load", the AFCI sees an abstract device with a (likely regulated) DC power supply, not what is being received by the radio. Its the same with digital noise in your alarm clock or cell phone or any other device operating from DC conversion - noise gets filtered by the power supply before it shows on on the AFCI line. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:6C48:7006:200:D84D:5A80:173:901D|2600:6C48:7006:200:D84D:5A80:173:901D]] ([[User talk:2600:6C48:7006:200:D84D:5A80:173:901D|talk]]) 23:45, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
