I was at my in law's newly completed house and was checking out the basement. it is constructed of superior walls and wanted to see the profile with my if camera.
I opened the electrical panel and noticed that all the AFCI had a higher temp profile than the than a standard breaker. The units were warm to the t touch but showed no signs of scorching on the underside when I pulled them. My amp probe showed that they were pulling 3 amps.
Is this a normal situation.
I am in the process of researching the situation but wondered if any one had information.
