Hello,
We're thinking of buying this house. It's got a weird setup. I'll try to take pictures later. I think it's listed as having a 150-amp panel but it's two small ones chained together. I was thinking of replacing it. I wanted a bigger panel, like a 32 or 40 slot one. I notice they got some really neat breakers now, like arc fault protection and GFCI. The breakers that have both built in are expensive, around 250$ for 6 of 'em that handle 20-amp each.
Do they make panels that have an arc fault and a GFCI 200-amp breaker? The big one? Also, what if you got something like an arc welder and you got one of those arc fault protection breakers...would that trip it? Or would it allow the arc welder to run, and just trip when bad arcs are detected somehow?
I couldn't find a 200-amp GFCI + arc fault protection panel when I looked earlier. Thanks!
