    ❤ your explanation of the gfci/gfci breaker is the best. Several other site's missed points and explanations in the amount of detail you did. Thank you

    I got a new home, and at the beginning, everything was fine with the loundry washer machine. After a few months, it started tripping the gfci eaton breaker. I have a basic knowledge about electricity. I check all terminals, adjust all of them, clean the cable tip, and reseat the breaker, and it work for a short time, but after a few loads in the spinning cycle, it trip.
    Apart from the video recommendation, what did you recommend. Thanks excellent video content.

      Something might be wonky with your washer. It's sensing something not correct.

    Is that panel set up like a sub panel? In my panel the ground and neutral are on the same lug? Can I still install a dual function breaker? Thank you!

    • @MountaineerOutdoors
      @MountaineerOutdoors  Рік тому +1

      In my demonstration it is set up like a sub panel. I have definitely been to homes where I have installed them where the nuetrals and grounds were together and it did work. If you do it, let us all know if they do work for you

      @@MountaineerOutdoors Thank you ! I installed three 20 amp circuits for receptacles in my outbuilding. Also one 30amp 220. Used your videos to learn how to bend pipe. Had three 3 point saddles 😤. Wasted some pipe but got it done. Just passed my rough inspection. It will a be couple weeks before I can finish but I will let you know how it turns out. Take care.

    Ground (bare copper), always on the opposite bar than the white? Is that what they mean by separating neutral and ground at first point of disconnect? Thanks!

    • @MountaineerOutdoors
      @MountaineerOutdoors  Рік тому

      They cannot be in contact with each other. So as long as they will not have continuity between them that is good

    As I understand the NEC 2020 requires these for kitchens, including dedicated circuits for the refrigerators and dishwashers, plus bathrooms. It’s odd that your local code just says bedrooms. They would be the least concerning to my way of thinking.

    The biggest problem with these AFCI breakers is they keep tripping , the home owner then replaces them with a standard breaker, which is bad enough, but they replace a 15 amp with a 20amp !!!!
    I have encountered this alot

    These things are so expensive. Are they really worth it? A regular breaker is like $7 and these things are >$50 and the tandem ones are close to $100.

    • @MountaineerOutdoors
      @MountaineerOutdoors  Рік тому +1

      Yes they sure are. You can't put a price on your life, plus they are code.
