My home is wired with arc fault breakers on circuits where allowed. I'd like to plug a refrigerator into one of these circuits, but am aware it could trigger arc faults. How do I switch the arc fault to a standard (or gfi) breaker? The panel shows a black, brown(tan) and white pigtail to the afci. I'm assuming the tan/brown is the common, but since it's not white, I'm looking for confirmation. thanks!

@jc32080,
My guess Jc is that it would work okay since I've never heard of arcs in firidges; try it

As for color,
