Circuit Breaker 15 Amp Single-Pole Q-Line Dual Function Arc Fault/GFCI

The 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) has required Ground Fault and Arc Fault circuit protection for numerous 15 Amp and 20 Amp circuits in kitchens and laundry areas. GFCI protection helps prevent electrical shocks by safeguarding against ground faults. GFCI circuit breakers achieve this by identifying when current is "leaking" outside its designated path. If your body becomes a pathway to ground for this "leakage," you could experience burns, shocks, or even electrocution. CAFCI protection helps prevent damage or fires that can occur due to arcing and sparking caused by worn wires, faulty connections, and breaches in wire insulation. With over 67,000 house fires resulting in more than 485 fatalities and injuring 2,300 individuals each year, the enhanced safety provided by CAFCI protection is a significant advancement in mitigating this danger.

• The device includes valuable features to assist you or your electrician in diagnosing a trip; if it trips, the orange LED will blink to indicate the last trip condition.

• It indicates the last trip condition by lighting up an LED for 5 seconds each time it is powered on for up to 30 days.

• The last trip condition of the unit can be reset by following a series of steps outlined in the instructions.

• The device is equipped with a self-test feature that complies with a June 2015 UL requirement for all ground fault circuit breakers.

• It must be utilized with a dedicated neutral and cannot be used with a shared neutral.
