The well-known crack of a rifle, whose ball came skipping along the placid surface of the strait, and a shrill yell from the island, interrupted his speech, and announced that their passage was discovered.
An arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) is a circuit breaker that breaks the circuit when it detects an electric arc in the circuit it protects to prevent electrical fires. An AFCI selectively distinguishes between a harmless arc (incidental to normal operation of switches, plugs, and brushed motors), and a potentially dangerous arc (that can occur, for example, in a lamp cord which has a broken conductor).
This gives the entire circuit AFCI protection. Individual AFCI outlets can be installed in homes that have an older main electrical box that contains fuses instead of circuit breakers. Some localities require AFCI protect on electrical circuits in bedrooms in new construction.ndividual AFCI outlets can be installed in homes that have an older main electrical box that contains fuses instead of circuit breakers.
