    Quoted from MK6PIN:

    Arc fault protection has been in code for awhile...Primarily due to vacuum cleaners starting fires..

    I have 26 games, plus arcade games and a dynamo air hockey. Our house is built in 2016 and I am running full ARC fault circuit breakers. I have zero issues of them tripping my games as everyone says “those games will trip those” you neeed to remove them. If it is tripping there is a problem. It is possible they can but most likely a bad Game will do it and it will save my house. I also have full surge protection for every game. I do have more concern on the newer games than the older as the newer aren’t built as well. I am a stern and jjp fan but not a Chicago Gaming Fan. I must say however the newer sterns are built in the disposable world. I don’t understand the NODE board or the lack of protections compared even to the prior Stern’s. I am highly concerned on this after they are a few years old.

    Also I don’t leave games on if not home. I had smoke start in my STTNG in the back back back from a LED going bad. Yes led. Burned that circuit wiring before blowing the fuse. The arc fault did not trip. I traced to the exact led. It created a direct short. Worked for two years perfect.
