Well, depending on what type of panel you have some of the newer arc faults don’t even have the white wire. It’s just a regular looking breaker then when it snaps on to the bus it does what it does


Doesn’t sound like he has a plug on neutral. The types he listed out are the original Siemens AF and the combination AF

Okay, gang. I'm still fighting this due to my ignorance. I've bought a 'normal' 15 amp Siemens breaker which has a single wire connection. This is consistent with the other 'normal' breakers in my panel which leads me to believe I have a 'plug on neutral' type breaker panel. What is driving me nuts is that the only AFCI breakers I can find have a pigtail for 'neutral on panel'. I'm 99% certain when I had the cover off of the panel that there were only two wires going into the AFCI breaker -- meaning there was no pigtail for 'neutral on panel'.

Is it possible that the AFCI breaker is both a 'plug on neutral' and they provide the pigtail in case the panel is not a 'plug on neutral' type of panel? In other words, I can just cut the pigtail off and install the breaker and I'm good?

Thanks.
