About This Product

The 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) has required Ground Fault and Arc Fault circuit protection for numerous 15 Amp and 20 Amp circuits in kitchens and laundry areas. GFCI protection helps prevent electrical shocks by safeguarding against ground faults. GFCI circuit breakers achieve this by identifying when current is “leaking” outside its designated path. If your body becomes a pathway to ground for this “leakage,” you could experience burns, shocks, or even electrocution. CAFCI protection helps prevent damage or fires that can occur due to arcing and sparking caused by worn wires, faulty connections, and breaches in wire insulation. With over 67,000 house fires resulting in more than 485 fatalities and injuring 2,300 individuals each year, the enhanced safety provided by CAFCI protection is a significant advancement in mitigating this danger.
