Arc Fault technology saves lives and has been an industry standard in new construction for over 15 years. Today’s arc fault technology has been proven through arc fault breakers and has gone through several iterations to reduce unwanted 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.DESIGN FEATURES:- Designed to recognize an arc fault and quickly trip to stop the flow of electricity to prevent the electrical system from being an ignition source of fire- Meets 2014 NEC® 406.4 (D)(4) requirements for replacement receptacles for dwelling units- Meets 2014 NEC® requirements when installed as defined in Article 210.12 (A) for dwelling units- Proven Eaton AFCI technology refined over several years to minimize unwanted tripping- Lockout feature provides safest design by prohibiting the AFCI from resetting if the AFCI circuit is not functioning properly- Tamper resistant receptacles provide compliance with 2014 NEC® Article 406.12 which states that all 15A and 20A, 125V/AC receptacles installed in dwelling units must be tamper resistant- Perfect for use in dwelling units, remodel/ retrofit applications, dormitories andcommercial buildings
