    CAFCI/GFCI tripping immediately when plugging in dryer

    I recently rewired my laundry room with MC cable, 20 amp circuit. I installed an AFCI/GFCI combo switch. The gas dryer trips it as soon as I plug it in, under no load. The washer does not trip it. I tested it with other appliances, under high load, no issue. This doesn't seem like a nuisance...

    I have a 50 amp circuit going to my camper and a 30 amp going to my water well submersible pump. I want to add a washer and dryer in a shed but I dont have any more room for fuses. Can I replace the attachment points for fuses to add more? OR do I need to buy a different meter/fuse box combo.

    I have just bought a tumble dryer that has come supplied with A 13A fuse. The manual says it has come with a special plug, that must be plugged into a 16A rated socket.

    Need dedicated circuit for water heater, range, dryer?

    Someone wants me to put a water heater(30 amps), range(40-50 amps) and dryer(30 amps) all on a single 60 amp circuit. I said that's a bad idea. They have a 100 amp main panel and all these devices would total 100 amps minimum. I am hesitant to run all these off the 100 amp service even with...
