AFCI breakers
Apr 23, 2007 9:27 AM
These circuit breakers feature Trip-Alert, an LED indication system that identifies which electrical fault condition induced tripping —arc fault, ground fault, or overload/short circuit. The “combination-type” breakers satisfy UL and CSA’s tests to provide full arc fault protection for the branch/feeder wiring, as well as the cord sets and power-supply cords connected to the receptacles. In addition, all devices use Electro-Sense electronic circuitry to determine the exact current levels and continuously monitor line conditions to detect various fault conditions, which the company says provides faster response and a higher level of protection. The circuit breakers also protect circuits and electrical loads against fire-causing arcs and shock-inducing ground faults.
