Circuit Breaker 15-Amp Function-Circuit AFCI/GFCI Dual

The Dual Function Circuit Breaker integrates Class A 5mA GFCI and Combination Type AFCI, offering protection against both Arc Faults and Ground Faults. Coupled with the new Self-Test feature, it stands out as a top choice in electrical safety for homeowners. The 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) mandates that kitchen and laundry circuits must have both Arc Fault and Ground Fault protection. Prior to the introduction of Dual Function Circuit Breakers, the only way to meet this requirement was to use an AFCI circuit breaker alongside a GFCI receptacle. The Dual Function Circuit Breaker merges these two devices into a single solution that provides cost efficiency and simplifies installation and maintenance. This is a beneficial solution for all parties involved. Regularly testing GFCIs and AFCIs every month is advisable but can sometimes be overlooked. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recommends that AFCI/GFCI devices be tested every 30 days after installation to verify their proper functioning. Now, the innovative Self-Test feature allows the Dual Function Circuit Breaker to automatically and continuously check itself to ensure it is operating correctly. If a problem is detected, the device will trip itself. This seamless system ensures that your home receives optimal protection at all times.
