COMBINATION TYPE ARC FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS
FIRE-GUARD™ Combination Type Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)

The FIRE-GUARD Combination Type Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) is a residential circuit breaker with an integrated processor that recognizes the unique current and/or voltage signatures associated with both parallel and low current arcing faults, and acts to interrupt the circuit. This further reduces the likelihood of an electrical fire.

Cutler-Hammer’s Combination Type Fire-Guard AFCI provides the following:

  • Mitigates low current and high current arcing faults in common installed wiring (Type NMB)
  • Conventional thermal and magnetic overcurrent protection
  • Parallel arcing fault detection and fire mitigation for installed wiring and connected cords
  • Enhanced detection of persistent low current arcing faults with associated mitigation of fire hazards in the cords connected to the outlets

Eaton's exclusive features include:

  • Best in class Combination AFCI Technology, UL1699 certified
  • Advanced self diagnostics via test button
  • Very low power consumption resulting in reduced distribution panel heating
  • Plug-on-Neutral option reducing installation time (CH in 2007, BR available mid 2008)
  • Dedicated AFCI application support group
