I recently talked to the tech support folks at Magnum about AFCI
breakers and they didn't know of a single one that would work with
modified square wave inverters. The AFCI requirement for all new
residential construction may finally be the death of modified square
wave inverters. <br>

Can & will someone explain, why off grid inverters will cause
nuisance tripping of the AF receptacle. <br>
Does anyone have "real" field information as to how this might be
reduced or eliminated? How about which AF receptacles are less likely
to trip? <br>
