Ground Fault Circuit breaker Question?

What is the difference in a regular Ground fault breaker and a combination ground fault breaker? They both look the same but my inspector says that it has to be a combination type ground fault breaker before he will pass my inspection.

Combination GFI are also a arc flash breaker. An arc fault circuit breaker or interrupter (arc fault circuit breakers) is a circuit breaker designed to stop fires by sensing non-functional electrical arcs and disconnect power before the arc starts a fire. This is in combination with the GFI which only detects a difference between neutral and the hot wire.

Circuit Breaker



my house was built in 1946 and I need to find out what type of wiring I have in the house. How do I find out?

I have a circuit breaker box and I also need to find out how much amps of power i have coming into the house. Where should I look?

I'm not really sure what you are asking because of the wording that you used. The amount of total amperage available in the circuit breaker box is the amount that you see on the handle of the main breaker. It is probably a double sized one at the top of the row of breakers in the box.

That is not necessarily the amount of amperage that is coming into the house. It is fairly common for the electric company to put much higher capacity wires in than is necessary for your breaker box. They do this because they are less likely to have to replace them in the future if you want to upgrade.

It is also a tiny bit safer to do it that way and more satisfactory to the user. It cost them so little that it is worth it. Also, you are paying for it anyway, at least indirectly, so there is no added cost to them in reality.

Most boxes of that era are in the 50 to 60 amp range. A few are 100 amp, but not most. Do you know if the box has been upgraded in the last 60 years? It is quite possible.

What do you mean by the type of wiring? Most answers assumed you meant two or three wire. Perhaps you meant the material that the wire and the insulation are made of. Those are all valid questions that it could be helpful to know.

Others have suggested that you remove the front cover of the box to see inside. You will look to see if there are either green insulated, or bare wires going to the neutral/ground lug strip(s). If there are only white wires, your wiring throughout the house is two wire, i.e. ungrounded.

Note that there will definately be at least two quite large bare wires on the lug strip. Those are FROM the electric company and TO the ground rod/pipe.

I urge extreme caution when you take off the cover. The wording of your question tells me that you are not qualified to stick your hands inside the box. It is extremely dangerous to those who do not posess the training and experience to do it safely. The voltage inside the box can very easily kill a person.

If you tell us why you are asking, we can offer better answers.
