If your appliance causes a AFCI or GFCI outlet or breaker to trip, reset the AFCI/GFCI. We work with circuit breaker and outlet manufacturers to ensure nuisance tripping is minimized and will work together with you to correct an issue.
You will find these AFCI devices on house circuits for 115V or 120V appliances. These are usually incorporated into a circuit breaker. You will find these GFCI devices on house circuits for 115V or 120V appliances.ĪFCI (arc fault circuit interrupt) devices detect electrical currents that are typical of an arcing event and the AFCI will "trip" if it detects an electrical current signature similar to an arcing event. All appliances have some small amount of current leakage to ground. These are usually installed as wall outlets with a Reset and Test button but can also be incorporated into a circuit breaker. GFCI or GFI (ground fault circuit interrupt) devices detect electrical current that may "leak" to the ground and if that current flow is too high the GFCI “trips” to interrupt the flow of electricity.
