Advanced technology helps protect against electrical fires resulting from arc- faults. This combination is ideal for kitchens, family rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways. Protection from electrical fires that could result from arc-faults and from electrical shock due to ground faults is an important part of every home electrical system.
Arcing creates high intensity heat (may exceed 10degrees Fahrenheit) resulting in burning particles that may over time ignite surrounding material such as wood framing or insulation. Samples of types of arcing that .
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters ( AFCI ) help protect your home from electrical fires that could result from arc-faults.
