    This AFCI (the circuit breaker with the yellow label) is an older generation AFCI circuit breaker. The current (as of 2013) devices are referred to as "combination type." An arc-fault circuit interrupter ( AFCI ) or arc-fault detection device ( AFDD ) [ 1 ] is a circuit breaker that breaks the circuit when it detects the electric arcs that are ...

    D 10–14 times I n: K 8–12 times I n. For the protection of loads that cause frequent short-duration (approximately 400 ms to 2 s) current peaks in normal operation Z 2–3 times I n for durations on the order of tens of seconds. For the protection of loads such as semiconductor devices or measuring circuits using current transformers.

  5. Arc fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_fault

    Two types of wiring protection are standard thermal breakers and arc fault circuit breakers. Thermal breakers require an overload condition long enough that a heating element in the breaker trips the breaker off. In contrast, arc fault circuit breakers use magnetic or other means to detect increases in current draw much more quickly.

  6. Fuse (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

    In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby stopping or interrupting the current.
