The well-known crack of a rifle, whose ball came skipping along the placid surface of the strait, and a shrill yell from the island, interrupted his speech, and announced that their passage was discovered.
An arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) is a circuit breaker that breaks the circuit when it detects an electric arc in the circuit it protects to prevent electrical fires. An AFCI selectively distinguishes between a harmless arc (incidental to normal operation of switches, plugs, and brushed motors), and a potentially dangerous arc (that can occur, for example, in a lamp cord which has a broken conductor).
A ground fault circuit interrupter is an electrical device installed to protect against severe electric shocks. GFCIâs could also reduce electrocutions and minimize electrical burns and shock injuries. A GFCI, not to be confused with an AFCI, integrates a ground fault protection in receptacles where electrical equipment is near water or might be in contact with water. Ground fault circuit interrupter also detects ground faults and interrupts the flow of electric current.
