| Oct 27, 2020 at 22:47 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | If you want to use AFCI breakers with GFCIs, get a GE panel - and a quite large one. They are the only AFCI breakers I know of that work with MWBCs. Your panel has lots of spaces and is grossly under-loaded, so you could run any EVSE you want clear up to a Tesla fast charger (100A) if you can find a 100A Crouse-Hinds breaker. (that's too big for Eaton CL and you can't use Eaton BR or CH in a Crouse Hinds panel). | |

| Oct 27, 2020 at 21:02 | comment | added | KZ. | Thanks! That explanation was really helpful. So it looks like there's nothing too bad going on here except for the open half slot on the bottom left and the missing handle-ties. Thanks for the idea for swapping the 'Mid K' and 'Kitchen Outlets' breakers around. This sounds pretty straightforward. I'm not so sure about messing around inside the panel, so will probably get an electrician for help here. | |
