Greetings,

I have replaced many standard breakers many with arc-fault breakers -- but
it is normally when I am removing knob and tube wiring and replacing it with
romex. If the old wire is romex I would not expect a problem. If the old
wire is knob and tube I would suggest replacement. If you do have an arcing
it should be corrected.

Hope this helps,
William

Hello:

Anyone replacing circuit breakers in their "older" homes
with these new arc-fault types ?

Any problems with inadvertent tripping, etc. ?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
