Arc Fault Breakers






It's not good when you hear your electrician say OH Crap!!!
This burned outlet was caused by a loose neutral wire in another room but on the same circuit as the space heater that was plugged in and turned on. The outlet got so hot that it melted the electrical box that could have easily started a house fire.
I guess I'll stop complaining about Arc Fault breakers and the code that requires them.
