Never Heard Of An AFCI?

Never heard of an AFCI?  It may save your home someday! “I want the new picture right there, dear.”  And with those explicit instructions you begin hanging a large picture and frame above the sofa.  Because of its size and weight, you use a large nail, find the stud, and begin to pound. But hidden behind the wallboard was a wire that provided electricity to a wall outlet behind the sofa.  Your nail penetrated the wallboard, clipped the edge of the stud, and poked deep into the wire tearing the insulation and shorting the electrical circuit to the living room.  The wall soon became hot, a smoke odor was prevalent, and fire erupted behind the wall and down fell the new picture you just hung.  Never mind the picture and frame were destroyed, your house was on fire! Hours later the fire inspector finds you sifting through the remains of your home and asks what you might know about the start of the fire.  Taking notes, he writes, “hanging picture, nail through the wallboard,” and he stops to ask if you had an arc fault circuit interrupter.  Since you have never heard of one, he says an AFCI would have saved your home, and for a few dollars, it would have detected the short circuit behind the wallboard, cut the power to the circuit, and you would be living in your home, instead of at your in-laws. Arc faults are common, and cause many of the 40,000 electrical fires in homes every year.  When unwanted arcing occurs, the electricity raises the temperature that will cause combustion to wood, paper, wallboard, and carpet.  Such faults occur where circuits have been damaged in some way, whether the wires were damaged, or failed because the aged insulation deteriorated.  Other reasons include improperly installed switches and outlets, cords mashed by doors or under furniture legs, and various environmental conditions. The AFCI monitors the current flow and when it senses an unwanted arcing condition, the circuitry trips the internal contacts and interrupts the circuit before a fire can occur.  The Consumer Product Safety Commission says, “Presently, AFCIs are designed into conventional circuit breakers combining traditional overload and short-circuit protection with arc fault protection. AFCI circuit breakers (AFCIs) have a test button and look similar to ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) circuit breakers. Some designs combine GFCI and AFCI protection.” What is the difference between an AFCI and a GFCI?  The ground fault circuit interrupter will protect against a severe or fatal shock, and the electrical code requires them to be placed in bathrooms, kitchens, near swimming pools, and outdoor electrical outlets.  The AFCI protects against unwanted arcing in a circuit, which could cause a fire. There is a need for both in every home.   for your philippine electrical concerns...needs...installation...orders...safeelectrical2013@gmail.com METRO MANILA PHILIPPINES WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN METRO MANILA WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN QUEZON CITY ELECTRICAL WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN MAKATI PHILIPPINES ELECTRICAL WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN TAGUIG PHILIPPINES ELECTRICAL WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN MAKATI PHILIPPINES ELECTRICAL WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN GLOBAL CITY PHILIPPINES ELECTRICAL WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN MAKATI PHILIPPINES ELECTRICAL WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN TAGUIG PHILIPPINES ELECTRICAL WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN ALABANG PHILIPPINES ELECTRICAL WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN GLOBAL CITY PHILIPPINES WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN LUZON WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN VISAYA WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN SUBIC WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN CLARK WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN THE PHILIPPINES WIRE AND CABLE SUPPLIER IN THE PHILIPPINES ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN METRO MANILA ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN QUEZON CITY ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN LUZON ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN VISAYA ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN SUBIC ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN CLARK ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINE INDUSTRIAL PARK ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINE ECONOMIC ZONE ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER FOR PHILIPPINE FOREIGNERS ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER FOR PHILIPPINE PROVINCES ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES BATANES ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES LAOAG ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES CLARK ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES SUBIC ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES MANILA ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES BATANGAS ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES LEGASPI ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES BORACAY ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES PALAWAN ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES PUERTO PRINCESA ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES ILOILO ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES BICOL ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES CEBU ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES BOHOL ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES SURIGAO ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES DUMAGUETE ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES BACOLOD ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES CAGAYAN DE ORO ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES SURIGAO ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES BUKIDNON ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES ILIGAN ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES ZAMBOANGA ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES BUTUAN ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES GENERAL SANTOS ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES ZAMBOANGA ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES DAVAO ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES CAGAYAN DE ORO ELECTRICAL SUPPLIER IN PHILIPPINES CAGAYAN DE ORO FOR YOUR PHILIPPINE ELECTRICAL CONCERNS...NEEDS...INSTALLATION...QUOTATION...ORDERS KINDLY EMAIL US: SAFEELECTRICAL2013@GMAIL.COM                  SAFEELECTRICALONLINE@GMAIL.COM FOR YOUR PHILIPPINE ELECTRICAL CONCERNS...NEEDS...INSTALLATION...QUOTATION...ORDERS: KINDLY EMAIL US: SAFEELECTRICAL2013@GMAIL.COM                  SAFEELECTRICALONLINE@GMAIL.COM FOR PHILIPPINE INQUIRIES LIKE LIGHTNING ARRESTER SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION CONTACT US:   FOR PHILIPPINE INQUIRIES LIKE LIGHTNING ARRESTER SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION CONTACT US:  FOR PHILIPPINE INQUIRIES LIKE LIGHTNING ARRESTER SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION CONTACT US:  MOBILE NUMBERS: SMART: +63 09079522099                         +63 09214026477                    GLOBE: +63 09273919600                        +63 09157920129                 SUN:   +63 9227192434                        +63 09336253505                 WIRELESS LANDLINE:   +63 4068727                                      +63 4922566                                  LANDLINE:    +63 4317553 HURRY..CALL US...NOW!!!!
