    AFCIs are also known to be sensitive (false tripping) to the presence of radio frequency energy, especially within the so-called high frequency (HF) spectrum (3–30 MHz), which includes legitimate shortwave broadcasting, over-the-horizon aircraft and marine communications, amateur radio, and citizens band radio operations. Sensitivities and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    Typical domestic panel circuit breakers are rated to interrupt 6 kA (6000 A) short-circuit current. Miniature circuit breakers used to protect control circuits or small appliances may not have sufficient interrupting capacity to use at a panel board; these circuit breakers are called "supplemental circuit protectors" to distinguish them from ...

  6. Fuse (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(electrical)

    A time-delay fuse (also known as an anti-surge or slow-blow fuse) is designed to allow a current which is above the rated value of the fuse to flow for a short period of time without the fuse blowing. These types of fuse are used on equipment such as motors, which can draw larger than normal currents for up to several seconds while coming up to ...

    The Lucas 1/4" diameter glass tube fuse have a different length as compared to the standard US item. The Lucas 1/4" diameter glass tube fuse is 1 + 5 ⁄ 32 in (29 mm) long, while the US standard 1/4" glass tube fuse is 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (32 mm)] long. However, many Lucas fuse holders permit the longer US version to be installed easily.
