There were no arc. After thinking about it, I should have said fault to ground. I guess I was going with what the info found in the box.

Thanks for the advice. So, I should have my multimeter with me all the time. and the probe as a last resort.

Update Just to update regarding AFCI breakers. My Electrician finished rewire my house. So far the AFCI breakers is not giving me any problems in the temporary location of the clothes washer. So, I am set until the new laundry room gets build. On the side note, yesterday I had a first...

chad, Thanks for sharing your experience with AFCI breakers. I will remember your post if there any issues.

Thank you all for your advice. Just to clarify a bit, I don't have a dryer only a washer. Yep, the house never had a gas or electrical connection for a dryer since I bought it a 6 years ago. I either dry my clothes the old fashion way with the clothe line in the back yard or go to my parents...

I hope that you had a good Christmas with your love ones.... My house will be rewire after new year with provision for additional circuits. I understand that every living spaces now requires AFCI breakers (excluding kitchen and bathroom). Right now my washer and gas dryer is located in a...

I understand. thanks

JWelectric, Thank you for your advice. I appreciate your patience. I think I still need a small section of rigid conduit from the main service; run it down with a LB box to protect the conductors before reaching the crawl space.

Thanks, for the clarification. For sure I appreciate your recommendation to call a pro if its gets too much to handle (at least I know when to raise the white flag). If I decided to to have someone else handle it, at least is a good intellectual workout for me. At this point I am willing to run...

Thank you all for your insight. I have still a lot to learn. The conductor will not be passed through insulation. The craw space is not insulated. We have mild weather here, but it doesn’t hurt to add insulation later. It seems that I am over reaching about the size of the breaker. Right...

Hello all. I got some questions regarding sub-panel replacement but first a background. Sorry if is a bit long. House build in 1947, mixed of old wiring (no ground, cloth type insulation) with some romex and THNN wires. Original service panel is from Federal Pacific. Sometime in 1980’s...

Interesting observation Hello All. I am newby here. I just got installed a Drake Elongated ADA toilet to replace an OK Eljer Patriot 1.6 gpf per Terry’s recommendations. The Eljer was able to handles all my needs but I got tired of wasting extra water in a second flush to completely clean...
