Things this week:
10/15 Arc-Fault breakers
Abstract: Arc-fault breakers are now required by the National Electric Code
for most branch circuits in residential applications. However arc-fault
sensing is complex, and can result in unintended tripping. This has had
particular implication for amateur radio operators. We will look at what
arc fault is, and what to watch for as a ham.
Speaker Bio: Andy has a 40-year career of military and private sector
business experience. In the private sector he earned successive promotions
through management and leadership positions in the electrical and automation
industries. He has served as CEO, President, CTO, and in other positions in

Naval Academy and has graduate degrees from Marymount and George Mason. He
