An arc fault circuit interrupter is a device intended to provide protection from the effects of arc faults by recognizing characteristics unique to arcing and by functioning to de-energize the circuit when the arc fault is detected. As of January 1, 2015, the Canadian Electrical Code now requires that all branch circuits that supply 125 V, single-phase, 15 and 20 A receptacle outlets installed in dwelling unit shall be protected by a combination arc fault circuit interrupter(s) (series arc and parallel arc detection).

Plug-in, combination type CAFCI circuit breaker, complies with the requirements for both branch/feeder and outlet circuit CAFCIs. Required on January 1, 2008 by 2005 NEC, combination type CAFCI circuit breakers must be placed on bedroom power and lighting circuits. Protects downstream branch circuit wiring and cord sets and power supply cords. Provides ARC fault, overload and short circuit protection. UL listed. Protects against worn electrical insulation or damaged wire, misapplied or damaged plug-in appliances and equipment and loose electrical connections. 2 LEDs appear for 5 secs each time the CAFCI is turned on, up to 30 days after the last trip to indicate last known trip condition. One LED means arcing fault. Two LEDs means arcing fault to ground. 10 kA interrupting rating. UL listed, 120 VAC. Wire range 14 to 8 AWG. 1 in space, 120 V.
