Frequently Asked Questions
What is the function of the AF / GF circuit interrupter?
Eaton's AF / GF circuit interrupter offers complete protection against both arc and ground faults to reduce unwanted tripping. It provides a quick installation and a single location to easily access and identify tripped circuits.
What is the difference between the main breaker and the branch breakers?
The main breaker protects the entire main panel and can be used as a service disconnect, while the branch breakers protect the wires leading to individual electrical loads.
What is an arc fault?
The high power discharge of electricity between two or more conductors is defined as an arc fault. This electrical discharge dissipates heat, breaking down the wire's insulation and triggering fire. Wiring protections, such as standard thermal breakers and arc fault circuit breakers can be used to visually detect arc faults.
