When it Comes to AFCI Technology, Don’t Settle For Second Best

Eaton AFCI

 

<<  Advertorial  >>

With new provisions for the use of AFCI technology in place, it’s important to understand what has changed, and what you can do to prevent dangerous electrical arcing.

The 2015 Canadian Electrical Code requires all branch circuits in dwelling units supplying 125V receptacles rated 20A or less be protected by a Combination-Type arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI), with some exceptions.

In order to prevent arc faulting that can ignite surrounding materials, it’s important to consider the preferred form of AFCI protection.

The 2015 CE Code allows for two methods to protect a circuit using arc-fault technology:
1.    Combination AFCI circuit breaker
2.    Conduit, tubing or armoured cable to first AFCI receptacle

When it comes to AFCI technology, don’t settle for second best. Eaton is the trusted name brand in electrical safety. We provide proven AFCI, GFCI, Surge Protection and Connectivity solutions required to keep power accessible, reliable, and safe.

Safety is a responsibility we both have. Installing superior AFCI technology from Eaton can help save lives.
