Features

• May be used for outlet branch circuits where AFCI protection is desired but is located where an outlet is not needed
• Ideal for installing in locations to make AFCI protection readily accessible per NEC® requirements
• May be used on circuits feeding lighting loads as well as other loads such as smoke detectors where a receptacle is not used
• Trip threshold meets or exceeds UL requirements for tripping time on ground faults and on both series and parallel arcs for optimal safety
• On initial power up, tests the GFCI circuit within 3 s
• Patented lockout action prevents reset if the device is damaged
• Status indicator light provides simple, intuitive feedback on power and protection status as well as indication of line/load reversal
• TEST and RESET buttons are readily accessible on the face of the device
• Improved immunity to high frequency noise reduces nuisance tripping
• Superior resistance to electrical surges and over voltages enhancing reliability
• Patented bridge contact design provides individual sets of contacts for receptacle face and downstream receptacles; no power will be delivered to receptacle face if improperly wired
• 1-piece T-design trip latch mechanism provides efficient operation
• Impact-resistant thermoplastic cover and body for durability
• Expanded wiring options with nine back-wire holes (two for each line and load connection plus one for ground with an internal clamp) for easy installation
