Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) bring a higher level of protection to today’s homes, many of which are increasingly overwhelmed by the growing electrical demands of our high-tech and appliance-rich lifestyles. New advances in AFCI technology, including the development of new code-approved AFCI and dual-function AFCI/GFCI receptacles, are providing contractors and homeowners easier-to-use and more cost-effective options.
This webinar, "Protection at The Point Of Use: AFCI receptacles provide easier-to-install, code-approved options for contractors," will discuss the benefits of installing AFCI receptacles and new advances in AFCI technology, and it will review the most recent National Electrical Code for AFCI receptacles.
