<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Jay,<br><br></div>It is not acceptable to wire the AFCI breaker with the utility power on the output of the AFCI breaker. That does not meet the specifications for the AFCI breakers. These breakers are sensitive to having voltage on their output when the breaker is opened, which can damage the AFCI breakers.<br>
<br></div>Currently, there are no AFCI circuit breakers that are listed for back-feed.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 8:10 AM, jay peltz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jay@asis.com" target="_blank">jay@asis.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
