Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AFCI breaker?
AFCI breakers detect dangerous arcing conditions in electrical circuits interrupting power before fires start. Unlike standard breakers protecting against overloads and short circuits, AFCI breakers identify arc-fault signatures from damaged wiring, loose connections, and electrical faults preventing fires from these common hazards.
Which circuits require AFCI protection?
Current electrical codes require AFCI protection for most circuits in buildings including office areas, break rooms, and similar spaces. Specific requirements vary by jurisdiction and building type. We determine required AFCI protection based on applicable codes ensuring full compliance.
Why do AFCI breakers trip?
AFCI breakers trip when detecting dangerous arcing patterns from damaged wiring, loose connections, or faulty equipment. Legitimate trips indicate actual hazards requiring investigation and repair. Occasional nuisance trips result from equipment motor brushes or other benign sources. We diagnose trips causing distinguishing genuine hazards from false alarms.
Can AFCI breakers be installed in any panel?
AFCI breakers require compatible electrical panels designed for specific breaker types. Older panels may lack AFCI compatibility requiring panel upgrades. We assess panel compatibility recommending upgrades when necessary ensuring proper AFCI installation and operation.
