GE THQL1120AF2 plug in 1 pole 20 amp arc fault combination circuit breaker
3. Siemens Q120DF20-Amp Afci/Gfci Dual Function Circuit Breaker, Plug on Load Center Style
Feature
- Faster, more cost effective installation to meet code requirements compared to installing an AFCI breaker and GFI receptacle
- For use on Siemens load centers that accept UL type QFGA2 breakers
- Siemens exclusive LED trip indicator pinpoints cause of trip
- HACR, SWD, 120 Volt AC rated
- The breaker requires power to run the self test / trip functions (will not test / trip when not installed)
Description
Two state-of-the-art technologies packaged in one small device – The Dual Function Circuit Breaker combines GFCI and AFCI, protecting against both Arc Faults and Ground Faults. This, along with the new Self Test & Lockout feature, makes it the first in class in electrical safety for homeowners. The 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) now requires both Arc Fault and Ground Fault protection on kitchen and laundry circuits. Before the release of Dual Function Circuit Breakers, the only option to comply with this code was to pair an AFCI circuit breaker with a GFCI receptacle. The Dual Function Circuit breaker combines these two devices into one solution that provides both cost savings and less hassle in installation and maintenance. This is a win solution for everyone. A device that tests itself – Testing GFCIs and AFCIs on a monthly basis is a good idea that is sometimes forgotten. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) suggests that AFCI/GFCI devices be tested every 30 days after installation to ensure they are properly working. Now the new Self Test & Lockout feature enables the Dual Function Circuit Breaker to automatically and continuously test itself to ensure that it is working properly. If it is detected that the device has been compromised, the device trips itself and locks out the homeowner from resetting the device, reducing the possibility of the homeowner incorrectly assuming that the device was tripped to prevent a ground/arc fault. This effortless system guarantees that only the best protection is given to your home at all times.

6. Murray MPA120AFCP 20-Amp Single Pole 120-volt Plug-On Combination AFCI Breaker
Description
The Combination Type AFCI differs from the Branch/Feeder AFCI in its ability to detect series arcing faults. The Branch/Feeder AFCI can only detect line-to-neutral and line-to-ground arcing faults. Combination AFCIs provide protection against the high-energy parallel (line-to-neutral and line-to-ground) arcing and low-energy series arcing. “Combination” does NOT mean an AFCI + GFCI. Combination = parallel + series arcing. Combination AFCIs protect downstream branch circuit wiring, cord sets and power supply cords. Murray Combination Type AFCI trip indicators provide a valuable analysis tool to help electricians pinpoint the type of trip. These indicators are in the form of LEDs that appear near the handle of the breaker. The LED indications will appear for 5 seconds each time the AFCI is turned “ON” up to 30 days after the last trip.

8. Leviton AFTR1-W SmartlockPro Outlet Branch Circuit Arc-Fault Circuit InterrupterReceptacle, 15-Amp, 120-volt, White
Feature
- Identifies potentially dangerous arc-faults and responds by interrupting power
- Easily installs as replacement for standard receptacle TEST and RESET button on receptacle face for localized testing
- Tamper-Resistant – shutter mechanism inside the receptacle helps prevent access to the contacts unless a two-prong plug is inserted
- Meets or exceeds UL requirements for tripping time for both series and parallel arcs
- Can be used to meet NEC requirements for Arc-Fault protection in new circuits, circuit modifications or extensions, or replacement receptacles
Description
The Leviton AFTR1 AFCI receptacle can help protect your home and property from the hazards of arc-faults by identifying and reacting to potentially dangerous arc-faults within a home’s electrical system, which includes: branch circuit wiring within walls, fixtures, appliances, equipment, and extension cords.
The device features a TEST and RESET button on the face of the receptacle; offering homeowners the convenience of localized control. The Leviton OBC AFCI Receptacle provides feed-through protection and is able to detect downstream parallel and series arc-faults as well as upstream series arc-faults.
Arc-faults can occur anywhere in a home’s electrical system and are linked to starting fires.
What Causes Arc-Faults?
Arc-faults can occur anywhere in the home’s electrical system including: damaged wiring within walls, loose electrical connections, brittle or heat-damaged cords, or in damaged or malfunctioning electrical cords. Due to the fact that arc-faults are generally not visible, it is important to have a means of detecting a potential problem. The Leviton OBC AFCI Receptacle is a smart solution as it installs easily in a standard wall box, can protect against the sources of arc-faults that may not be visible, and can be used in either new construction or in retrofit applications.
What is Arc-Fault Protection?
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) were developed to help combat the dangers associated with arc-faults.
- AFCIs are designed to detect a wide range of arc-faults to help reduce the likelihood of the electrical system being an ignition source of a fire
- AFCIs function by cutting off power when potentially dangerous arcing is detected
- AFCIs are now required by the National Electrical Code in many areas throughout the home
The Difference between AFCI and GFCI outlets
AFCIs and GFCIs are both important devices to incorporate into a home’s electrical system. It is important to recognize, however, that although they are similar in appearance they offer very different protection. The AFCI receptacle is designed to provide protection from electrical fires that could result from arc-faults, whereas the GFCI receptacle protects people from potentially hazardous shocks and electrocution. Additionally, GFCI receptacles are required in wet or damp locations such as kitchens, bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms and garages. AFCI receptacles are often required in family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sunrooms, recreation rooms, closets and hallways.
About Leviton OBC AFCI Receptacles
As a market leader in electrical wiring devices, Leviton has introduced an OBC AFCI Receptacle which addresses the dangers associated with both types of potentially hazardous arcing – parallel and series arcing. Similar to GFCIs, AFCI receptacles provide feed-through protection and are able to detect downstream parallel and series arc-faults, as well as upstream series arc-faults. Utilizing an AFCI receptacle offers homeowners the benefit of localized TEST and RESET, providing a convenient option to AFCI breakers.
