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 and usually appear with a green label. An Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) is a type of duplex receptacle or circuit breaker that breaks the circuit when it detects a dangerous electrical arc in order to prevent electrical fires.
â A series arc is an arcing incident across a break in a conductor. A common example is a cut across one of the two wires in a lamp cord, with a dangerous arc forming in the gap. Combination AFCI circuit breakers detect the arcing condition and turn off the circuit, thus providing the enhanced protection.â The author created the described condition in his shop, and tested all commercial Combination AFCIs; none tripped and turned off the circuit.ombination AFCI circuit breakers detect the arcing condition and turn off the circuit, thus providing the enhanced protection. â The author created the described condition in his shop, and tested all commercial Combination AFCIs; none tripped and turned off the circuit.
