ARC Fault Circuit Breakers

Several cases have arisen where vacuum cleaners cause an Arc Fault Circuit Breaker to trip. We have contacted the manufacturer, Square D Customer Service Technical Support, for their assistance. They indicate that several types of vacuum cleaners can cause this problem - primarily Sears and Kenmore models.

The Arc Fault breaker is required by code and we cannot replace it with any other type of breaker. If you are having a problem with a tripped Arc Fault breaker, please call Square D and provide the following information:

• Vacuum Cleaner Manufacturer
• Model Number
