Eaton Slim AFGF Receptacle

Both arc fault protection and ground fault protection are required in kitchens and laundry areas according to the 2017 NEC, with expansion to further areas expected in coming code cycles. Eaton has long been a leader in ground fault and arc fault protection – both from the breaker and from the receptacle. Eaton’s AF/GF receptacle allows for local reset and provides protection from series arcs, parallel arcs, and ground faults using Eaton’s 15 years of arc fault experience to help reduce the number of unwanted nuisance trips and self-test GFCI technology to ensure the proper operation of the protection circuitry.

• Provides both arc fault protection per UL1699A and ground fault protection per UL943 in one convenient device
• Device self-tests periodically to ensure proper function of both the ground fault and arc fault protection elements
• Lock-out functionality prevents miswired line-load connections and GFCI/AFCI circuitry damage
• Automatic grounding system eliminates the need for bonding jumper in grounded metal enclosure; provides redundant measure of ground continuity when jumper is used
• OBC AF/GF receptacles also protect from upstream series arcs
