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
