Eaton's Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) receptacles are designed to recognize dangerous arcs in your wiring and immediately break the flow of electricity, thus preventing your electrical system from becoming an ignition source for a fire. The life-saving technology and superior design of AFCI protection, now standard in new construction has been refined over the years to also reduce unwanted nuisance tripping due to interference from electrical devices or appliances. When combined with Eaton’s GFCI technology, Eaton's arc fault receptacles provide fire and electrical safety in one device, and are also available in breakers.
An arc fault is an unintended arc created by current flowing through an unplanned path. Arcing creates excessive heat that can easily ignite surrounding material, such as wood framing or insulation, resulting in a hazardous fire. The 2014 National Electrical Code® allows for Outlet Branch Circuit (OBC) AFCI receptacles to be installed under various conditions to provide arc fault protection.
Eaton's arc fault technology has been proven through arc fault breakers and has gone through several iterations to reduce unwanted nuisance tripping due to interference from devices or appliances. Arc fault circuit interrupters have been established as a stable technology which can be used in conjunction with various loads through the home in both AFCI breakers and AFCI receptacles.
The latest NEC® standards allow for Outlet Branch Circuit (OBC) AFCI receptacles to be installed under various conditions to provide arc fault protection. Eaton's Outlet Branch Circuit (OBC) AFCI receptacles can contribute to overall homeowner safety by monitoring the electrical circuits for the presence of dangerous arcing conditions.
