    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    A small circuit breaker typically has a manual control lever to switch the circuit off or reset a tripped breaker, while a larger unit may use a solenoid to trip the mechanism, and an electric motor to restore energy to springs (which rapidly separate contacts when the breaker is tripped).

  4. Arc flash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_flash

    The circuit breaker closest to the downstream fault will send a restraining signal to prevent upstream breakers from tripping instantaneously. The presence of the fault will nevertheless activate the preset trip delay timer(s) of the upstream circuit breaker(s); this will allow an upstream circuit breaker to interrupt the fault, if still ...

    The National Association of Relay Manufacturers and its successor, the Relay and Switch Industry Association define 23 distinct forms of electrical contact found in relays and switches. [ 12 ] A normally closed ( NC ) contact pair is closed (in a conductive state) when it, or the device operating it, is in a deenergized state or relaxed state.
