Coming soon to Canada

[linkster (Leonard Inkster, CMI)]

With the introduction next year of the new electrical code requiring new homes, and all electrical renos to have AFCI’s everywhere, Schneider Electric are introducing to Canada the Plug-on Neutral panels for the Square-D and Homeline panels.

These do not need pigtails for the AFCI’s. They are also going to introduce the person friendly combination AFCI/GFCI that detects ground faults at 5mA.

More info here

Don’t get caught calling out these AFCI’s as defects because they have no pigtails.

I managed to snap a couple of pictures of the breakers with see-through cases.

(Thank you to the nice business development manager at Schneider)
