Do Ceiling lights in bedrooms have to be on a arc fault protected circuit breaker?

No, bedroom lights fixtures do not have to be on arc fault breakers. In fact it is better if they are not. The neutral should return straight back to the distribution panel, for the arc fault circuit that the neutral is in. In some jurisdictions an electrical code amendment requires that the cable fed from arc fault breakers be identified with a blue outer sheath.

What is a non auto circuit breaker?
A non-auto circuit breaker is a circuit breaker with the trip element removed. Basically, it is a modified circuit breaker that is now a disconnect switch (glorified disconnect switch).
How do you change wire fuse for circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
What is RRRV in power plants?
Rate of Rise of Re-striking Voltage is a voltage which is found when fault occurs in a power circuit protected by Circuit Breaker. This voltage may be twice the system voltage.
What is the metal piece on the circuit breaker preventing it from tripping?
A circuit breaker is designed so that it will trip when the electric current is too high. That is the purpose of a circuit breaker. If there is a metal piece on the circuit breaker that prevents it from tripping, it is useless. Perhaps someone has altered it.
How is the circuit protected?
By a fuse or a circuit breaker.
How are Branch circuit protected?
Branch circuits are protected by the circuit breaker found in the electrical panel. Each circuit should have its one breaker. The breaker should be rated to protect the insulation of the wire, so you can determine the breaker size based on the circuit conductor size Example #14-2 should be protected by a 15 amp breaker
Where is the power window fuse for an Audi A4?
It is not fused, it's protected by a circuit breaker. Where is the circuit breaker ?
A small appliance circuit will be protected by a circuit breaker rated at?
A small appliance circuit will be protected by a circuit breaker rated at 15 or 20 amps. This is to ensure that the circuit can safely handle the electrical load of the small appliances without overloading.
Why do the headlights of a 1991 ford explorer go off and on when turned on?
The headlight circuit is protected by a self-resetting circuit breaker. Something in the circuit is drawing too much power and the breaker is cycling on and off.
When a shunt trip breaker trips does the voltage remain on?
No, when a shunt trip breaker trips, it opens the circuit and disconnects the voltage supply to the protected circuit.
How do you reset the circuit breaker on the cigarette lighter on a 63 ford falcon?
It does not have a circuit breaker. It uses a fuse to protect the circuit. Look for a blown fuse in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.I believe the cigarette lighter circuit is protected with a glass barrel fuse not a circuit breaker. Check the fuse box for a blown fuse.
Will turning off power to a ceiling fan via a wall switch be sufficient fro installing a new fan or must the circuit breaker be off too?
You need to turn off the power at the circuit breaker.
What is the minnimum size equipment grounding conductor required by the NEC for a branch-circuit protected by a 50-ampere rated circuit breaker?
The minimum size equipment grounding conductor required by the NEC for a branch circuit protected by a 50-ampere rated circuit breaker is 10 AWG copper or 8 AWG aluminum.
Where is the headlight fuse for a 1983 Chevy S-10 blazer?
Back then the headlight circuit was protected by a circuit breaker that was built into the headlight switch.
Where is the headlight fuses in a 1972 Chevy truck?
There is no fuse for the headlights in that truck. The circuit is protected by a circuit breaker located inside the headlight switch.
Why would using a small kitchen appliance trip the circuit breaker for the bedrooms and not for the outlet that it is plugged into?
If a small kitchen appliance is tripping the circuit breaker for the bedrooms and not for the outlet it is plugged into, it could be due to the difference in electrical load. The bedrooms circuit may already have a higher load from other devices plugged in, whereas the individual outlet might have a separate circuit with a lower load. The small kitchen appliance could be exceeding the capacity of the bedrooms circuit, causing it to trip. It is recommended to redistribute the load or use a different outlet on a different circuit.
