Use of TEST and RESET buttons is similar to traditional GFCI receptacles of which consumers have become familiar with, this translates into greater acceptance of the technology and a more user-friendly platform
Automatically tests the AFCI every time the RESET button is depressed; the AFCI will not reset if the AFCI circuit is not functioning properly
TR symbol indicates the device's compliance with the latest NEC requirements for tamper-resistant receptacles in residences and childcare facilities
Device design reduces nuisance tripping
Impact-resistant thermoplastic cover and body
Superior resistance to electrical surges and over-voltages
Terminals allow for easy wiring options - back and side wire capable
Compatible with all Decora devices and wallplates; available in select colors
Meets or exceeds UL requirements for tripping time on both series and parallel arcs
Packed with coordinating wallplate (except AFRBF)
Expanded wiring options with nine back-wire holes (two for each line and load connection plus one for ground with an internal clamp)
OBC AFCI receptacles address 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
Dielectric voltage withstands 1250 VAC per UL 1699A
Back and side termination
14 to 10 AWG terminal, tamper resistant
