Arc Fault Circuit Protection

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, during a typical year, an estimated 248,500 one- and two-family residential building fires are reported to U.S. fire departments and cause an estimated 2,135 deaths, 8,550 injuries, and $5.9 billion in property loss. Many of the fires attributed to “faulty wiring” are caused by arc faults that standard circuit breakers and fuses cannot detect.
