Electrical safety is important in any home or building, but traditional circuit breakers may not catch all risks. One of the most significant advancements in electrical safety technology is the arc fault detection device (AFDD). These devices detect arc faults, which are dangerous sparks from damaged wires or loose connections. If left unchecked, arc faults can lead to fires, putting both property and lives at risk.
AFDDs are now widely recommended for homes and businesses because they help prevent fires. But how do they work, and what sets them apart from standard breakers?
