> I don’t know much about US electrical standards but aren’t your residential circuits rated for 1800w or 2400w?
The residential AFCI issue I describe isn't about the wattage directly. It's about transient currents generated by large switch-mode power supplies being detected as arc faults. Similar concern as with induction motors.
That is interesting. In New Zealand AFCI is only required on 20A sub circuits in places that have a high fire risk, contain irreplaceable items, school sleeping areas and some other minor circumstances.
