Arc Fault Circuit Breakers or AFCIs
Combination Type Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) detect arcing faults (an unintentional arcing condition in a circuit) that standard circuit breakers are unable to detect. The device is intended to mitigate the effects of arcing faults by functioning to de-energize the circuit when an arc-fault is detected. A Combination Type AFCI detects all three types of arcing.
