Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters Protect People from House Fires Caused By Electrical Arcing By Mark J. Donovan Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) are different from standard circuit breakers. Arc fault circuit interrupters are specifically designed to turn off power to a circuit when they sense a non-working electrical arc. A standard circuit breaker, on the other hand, is meant to sense an overload circuit or a short circuit. The main purpose of arc fault circuit interrupters is to prevent fires due to arcing. Tens of thousands of fires are started…
