Residential AFCI Circuit Breaker

An arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) prevents fires by detecting unintended arcs created by current flowing through an unplanned path. This system provides a design for residential AFCI circuit breakers. It monitors line currents at 100KHz looking for noise characteristics known to be associated with arcing. The Wi-Fi module is used to integrate with any smart home system.

System Benefits:

• Wi-Fi function supported for a new generation of smart breakers
• Reality AI software running on MCU will help the customers deliver endpoint intelligence:
  • 8ms observation window: >=99.2% accuracy in arc detection
  • 16ms observation window: >= 99.7% accuracy in arc detection
