Pass & Seymour® Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) Receptacles are the latest innovation in electrical safety technology, and a Code-approved alternative to AFCI breakers. AFCI receptacles protect against electrical fires by detecting arc faults and de-energizing the circuit.radiant® Screwless Wall Plate not included.FEATURES & BENEFITS:- Part of the radiant® colletion of wiring devices, wall plates, and home systems.FSUL Listed (Federal Specification WC596)- Feed-through protection.- Two back-wire holes per termination add wiring flexibility, eliminate pigtailing and save box space.- High-impact-resistant, thermoplastic construction for superior strength and durability.- Auto-ground clip assures a positive ground to metal box.- Ground terminal back-wire for fast installation.- Tamper-Resistant — automatic shutter system prevents children from inserting objects such as hairpins or keys.- Indicator Light- Patented SafeLock® Protection — if critical components are damaged and ground fault protection is lost, power is disconnected.- Prevents Line-Load miswire — no power downstream if wired incorrectly.- Black shutters essentially disappear into the background for an invisible effect preferred by end users.EASIER TO USE:- Installed in the living space at the point of use so homeowners can see the indicator light, and perform TEST and RESET locally. No confusing trips to the breaker box.Less confusion for the homeowner and therefore, fewer callbacks for the contractor.EASIER TO INSTALL:- AFCI Receptacles fit any wall box, reducing the amount of inventory you need to carry. Unlike circuit breakers, AFCI Receptacles don’t have to match the brand of the breaker box.- An AFCI Receptacle can be installed in a wall box as a cost effective alternative when a breaker box is full or there is no matching AFCI Receptacle for a brand of breaker box.- Can be used on circuits with shared neutrals on the line side.
Protects against fire caused by arc-fault occurrences. Unlike breaker alternatives, AFCI outlets make it easier to fix trips with a convenient reset button on the outlet.
Dead front device is ideal for locations where plug-in access is not necessary.
Test and rest buttons located on face of device at point of use, making it easier to fix trips directly on the device.
SafeLock® Protection feature: if critical components are damaged and protection is lost, power to the receptacle is disconnected
Extends GFCI protection to "downstream" outlets when used with feed-thru wiring configuration. Note: Will cut power to face and downstream outlets if wired incorrectly
Auto-ground clip assures a positive ground to a metal box
Dead front rated as 1 1/2 HP motor control switch
Compliant with NEC AFCI requirements
Easier installation than breakers; fits any wall box; no need to match brand of breaker box
