Eaton's Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) receptacles are designed to recognize a dangerous arc in your wiring and immediately break the flow of electricity, thus preventing your electrical system from becoming an ignition source for a fire. The life-saving technology and superior design of AFCI protection, now standard in new construction has been refined over the years to also reduce unwanted nuisance tripping due to interference from electrical devices or appliances. When combined with Eatons GFCI technology, Eaton's arc fault receptacles provide fire and electrical safety in one device, and are also available in breakers.
