How an Arc Fault Circuit Breaker Works
In the US, arc faults are a leading cause of house fires. An arc fault occurs when an unintentional electrical discharge happens. One example would be the discharge created by a nail puncturing a wire behind a wall, releasing a small electrical current leak that gets hotter over time. Because arc faults generate high heat, surrounding materials like insulation and wood can easily catch fire.
Arc fault circuit breakers detect dangerous electrical arcs before they start sparking and producing a fire. Upon indicating an arc fault, the breaker immediately shuts down the circuit. Arc fault circuit breakers are recommended based on research about how home fires start and how to best prevent them. Give us a call at 760-699-2686 to learn more!
