AFCI Receptacles are designed to identify a hazardous arc in your electrical line and instantly disconnect the current supply, therefore protecting your electrical network from dangerous fires and damage. As expected by the NEC, AFCI protection is now being installed as standard in kitchens, hallways, and bedrooms. Leviton offers Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter Outlets that can be conveniently fitted in place of a conventional receptacle test and reset button on receptacle body for confined testing. It is designed with a tamper-resistant - shutter mechanism within the receptacle that cannot be accessed, expect with a two-prong plug.
The Tamper Resistant AFCI Outlet, from Leviton, detects a wide range of potentially hazardous arc-faults and instantly responds by disrupting power. It is designed to test the AFCI automatically each time the reset button is lowered. By preventing reset of the AFCI, if protection is not functioning properly, the SmartlockPro OBC AFCI decreases the likelihood of users to think that a reset AFCI is providing protection mistakenly.
