Question 1 of 9

1. Question
Is there a combination Arc Fault and Ground Fault or do I have to use one Arc and one Ground Fault?
- Yes, you can get one dual function Arc Fault/Ground Fault Breaker – this combines both the safety and protection of both into a single circuit breaker.
- No, you cannot get one dual function Arc Fault/Ground Fault Breaker
- You only need an Arc Fault Breaker – this combines both the safety and protection of both into a single circuit breaker.
- A Ground Fault Breaker combines both the safety and protection of both into a single circuit breaker.
Question 2 of 9

2. Question
Can I just replace my existing Breaker in my load center with an Arc or Ground Fault Breaker?
- Yes you can replace the existing breakers with an AFCI/GFCI breaker if that breaker is listed on your panel.
- No you cannot replace the existing breakers with an AFCI/GFCI breaker.
- Yes you can replace the existing breakers with an AFCI/GFCI breaker if they are from another manufacturer.
- No you cannot replace the existing breakers with an AFCI/GFCI breaker you will need to change your loadcenter.
Question 3 of 9

3. Question

- 1ft
- 12ft
- 9ft
Question 8 of 9

8. Question
What is the difference between AFCI and GFCI?
- AFCIs sense electricity is arcing within the electric system and shuts electricity off before overheating happens which can cause a fire. GFCIs sense a drop in current on a circuit and will shut off the electricity to that circuit preventing the possibility of electrical shocks or electrocution. Both should be installed by a qualified electrician to help ensure that your home is safer.
- AFCIs sense electricity is drop in current within the electric system and shuts electricity off before overheating happens which can cause a surge. GFCIs senses arcing on a circuit and will shut off the electricity to that circuit preventing the possibility of electrical shocks or electrocution. Both should be installed by a qualified electrician to help ensure that your home is safer.
- AFCIs sense electricity is flowing within the electric system and shuts electricity off before overheating happens which can cause a fire. GFCIs measures current on a circuit and will shut off the electricity to that circuit preventing the possibility of electrical shocks or electrocution. Both should be installed by a qualified electrician to help ensure that your home is safer.
- AFCIs measures electricity in watts within the electric system and shuts electricity off before overheating happens which can cause a surge. GFCIs tests for surges in current on a circuit and will shut off the breaker to that circuit. Both should be installed by a qualified electrician to help ensure that your home is safer.
Question 9 of 9

9. Question
Does a GFCI protect against Arc Faults?
- No, a GFCI does not protect against arc faults. Arc fault breakers and receptacles are separate devices that protect against arc faults only. Make sure that to meet the National Electrical Code requirements for arc fault protection, you must install the requisite arc fault devices in the locations required by the Code.
- Yes, a GFCI does protect against arc faults. Make sure that to meet the National Electrical Code requirements for arc fault protection, you must install the requisite arc fault devices in the locations required by the Code.
- Depends on how you install a GFCI it will protect against arc faults. Arc fault breakers and receptacles are separate devices that protect against arc faults only. Make sure that to meet the National Electrical Code requirements for arc fault protection, you must install the requisite arc fault devices in the locations required by the Code.
- GFCI and AFCI are interchangeable and protect against arc faults. Arc fault breakers and receptacles are separate devices that protect against arc faults only. Make sure that to meet the National Electrical Code requirements for arc fault protection, you must install the requisite arc fault devices in the locations required by the Code.
