Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs) are safety devices that protect electrical circuits by detecting dangerous arc faults, which can occur when electrical wiring is damaged, loose, or deteriorated. These faults generate high-intensity heat that can ignite surrounding materials, leading to fires. AFDDs monitor the electrical circuit for the characteristic signatures of arc faults and automatically disconnect the power supply when such faults are detected, significantly reducing the risk of electrical fires in homes and commercial buildings.
