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. You may ask yourself "where do I need AFCIs?" You need them at home. A combination type AFCI detects all three types of arcing - line-to-neutral, line-to-ground and Series arcing. This new technology created by Siemens expands the capabilities of the CAFCI by feeding two separate circuits from one breaker position - saving both space in the load center and installation time, all while maintaining safety and compliance. This is ideal for new construction or renovations and is available in either plug-on neutral or pigtail versions.
