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).
When is arc fault protection required? When any receptacle outlet is replaced in a room or area that requires AFCI protection or, for any existing circuit where the circuit is altered, extended or modified in rooms or areas that require AFCI protection. What rooms or areas require an AFCI device? With the exception of garages, unfinished basements and
