Video: Difference between arc-fault detection and ground-fault interruption
There are circuit breakers, circuit breakers with arc-fault detection built in, and circuit breakers with ground-fault interruption built in. And there are breakers with both these features. In…
Video: What can happen without a surge protector
Nasty events can befall electronics in the event of a voltage surge on the ac power lines. We got a dramatic demo of the consequences at Eaton Corp.’s…
