Residential Products

The FIRE-GUARD? Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) is a residential circuit breaker with an integrated processor which recognizes the unique current and/or voltage signatures associated with arcing faults, and acts to interrupt the circuit to reduce the likelihood of an electrical fire. With the FIRE-GUARD AFCI, protection from arcing faults is combined with conventional thermal and magnetic overloads as found in standard residential circuit breakers protecting wiring from excessive heat or damage due to overloading or short circuits. FIRE-GUARD AFCI can also be equipped with 5 mA ground fault protection to protect from personal shock hazards. Now, there is a residential circuit breaker that provides protection from arcing faults, conductor damage due to thermal overloads and short circuits, as well as 5 mA ground fault protection in one integrated design.

AFGFTESTER
The AFGFTESTER will serve as a handy troubleshooting tool for contractors and electrical inspectors. The circuit analyzer provides accurate testing of AFCI and GFCI devices while also testing for faulty wiring conditions. Eaton's experience and knowledge of AFCI breakers led to the development of a patented feature of the analyzer. The feature allows the user to verify whether they have a grounded neutral with a simple press of a button. In addition to testing AFCI circuits, this unit provides testing of both 30mA and 5mA GFCI devices.

Accessories included with the AFGFTESTER are:

• An alligator clip attachment to test hard-wired circuits that lack a receptacle, such as smoke detectors.
• An adapter for converting 2 prong receptacles often found in older homes to 3 prong.
• A light socket adapter for AFCI testing when no receptacle is available. This is ideal for ceiling fans or recessed lighting.
• A black carry case
