Issue:
Can an arc fault circuit breaker work properly on a fluorescent fixture?
Product Line:
Arc Fault Circuit Breakers
Resolution:
Generally, yes. However, if the RF filter in the fluorescent ballast has a capacitor connected to ground, it may trip the breaker. Recommend contacting the fixture manufacturer to verify suitability for a ground fault or arc fault protected circuit.
