Bob,

No, I'm not kidding about questioning whether DC arc fault detectors could 
be important. IF there was such a thing, IF it worked, and most importantly 
IF there was a good reason for having it on the roof, that is. The intent of 
the post was to throw out ideas and ask questions--to invite dialogue on the 
issue

We all want a safe system with no unnecessary doodads. It sounds as though 
the '05 provision for running metallic conduit in attics will be a good 
solution for now. I hope we're always questioning, though, how we can do 
things better--where it makes sense to do so.

Take care,

Gary

The last thing we need is a requirement for a DC ARC FAULT DETECTOR on the
lines from panels to the box.
Your kidding, RIGHT?
I am not convinced that the AC arc fault breakers work correctly at this
point.
