10 Typical Arc Current Waveform Typical current waveforms observed when a carbon-steel blade cuts through 16 AWG SPT-2 cord. The available current is 100A.

11 Today s Home Electrical Protection Type CH Branch Breakers Protects your electric conductors Type CH Ground Fault Circuit Breakers Protects people from electrical shock There is no product within the electrical infrastructure that is specifically designed to guard against the risk of residential fires by detecting the presence of an electrical arc.

12 Until NOW! a new technology that reduces the risk of electrical home fires

13 Cutler-Hammer The Leader in the Industry 1st to Submit Product to UL 1st to Market 1st to have UL Listing for Mitigating the Effects of Arcing Faults 1st to have UL1699

14 What Does an AFCI Do? It recognizes the signature of parallel arcing faults in (2-wire or 2-wire plus ground) circuits with available fault currents of 75 amps* rms and higher interrupts the circuit. AFCI also interrupts: Series arcs in two conductor plus ground wire arcing faults to ground down to 30ma (equipment protection)

16 International Assoc. Of Electrical Inspectors Analysis of the 1999 National Electric Code This device is intended to reduce the number of residential fires by combining wire thermal protection with the mitigation of arcing effects in damaged wiring All branch circuits that supply 125 volt, single-phase, 15 and 20-ampere receptacle outlets installed in bedrooms shall be protected by an arc fault circuit interrupter effective January 1, 2002

26 Review of Existing Residential Wiring Knob and Tube (K/T) Wiring Bx and Greenfield Systems Romex/ NM-B cable and Homeruns

27 Knob and Tube (K/T) Wiring Potential Problems Based on an open air system. Consumer wants to add insulation which changes the thermal characteristics of the K/T wiring Another consumer error is incorrectly adding circuits to a K/T system. They splice in a new circuit and use the wrong neutral. AFCI will detect arcing phase to neutral without the presence of a ground wire.

28 Bx and Greenfield Systems Will detect any type of arcing to a ground plane arcing to metal coils of Bx metal fixture box or outlet box AFCI will detect parallel arcing faults even if the wires (of opposite polarity) causing the arcing faults are not near a ground plane

29 Shared Neutral Homeruns What is a Shared Neutral? Running NM-B 3 conductor plus ground for a homerun (eliminates the need to pull two wires) Will an AFCI single pole 15 or 20A work? NO What do I do? 4th Quarter of this year, Cutler-Hammer will offer a two pole shared neutral AFCI. The only manufacturer with this technology.

33 Pricing AFCI Installation to a Homeowner Determine the number of Breakers to be installed. Be aware this is wired like a GFCI, make necessary increases as you see fit. Keep in mind and make the homeowner aware if he/she has a problem what it will cost to inspect the problem Give price for problem correction.

36 Surge Protection At The Service Entrance The Service Entrance is the best location to divert lightning surges The CHSP can be installed on any manufacturers load center CHSP protects AC, telephone/ modem, satellite/ cable

37 CHSP Features Easy to Install Connection Heavy Duty NEMA Type 1 Enclosure Coaxial Connections for Cable TV or Satellite Protection for 2 Pairs of Telephone or Modem Lines 39,000 Amps/Phase Surge Protection for AC Power Status Indicator Lights Internal Surge Plane Design Eliminates Differential Ground Voltage Complete Home Protection - can be installed on any manufacturers load center

38 Solution - Install Surge Suppression at the Loadcenter Recommended by IEEE Location closest to the grounding system ensures a low impedance path to ground

39 A Second level of surge protection is recommended IEEE s Recommendations (Emerald Book): A second level of surge protection is recommended so that any residual voltage resulting from the action (of the suppression device) can be dealt with by a second protective device. In the home this is best accomplished with a quality surge strip ($30-$70). 20,000V 800V 0 INPUT SURGE: IEEECategory C3 Impulse (20kV, 10kA) Stage 1: Performance with Parallel Suppressor (let through ranges between Volts).
