Ground Fault and Arc Fault Protection
When talking about surge protection, these two terms, ground fault, and arc fault protection, tend to come up. What are people referring to though, when they mention these types of protection? Arc fault protection protects against fires that are caused by arcing faults. Arcing faults are usually burnt wires, these are issues that are more common on older equipment. Ground fault protection is designed to actually help you if you were to be shocked by the electric current. It provides the electricity, essentially with a “way out”. So as to prevent you from burning up if you are to be shocked by the device.
What Type of System Do I Need To Install?
It could be a good idea to install all sorts of surge protection systems. Especially if we are talking about devices that are pretty much out in the open. If the devices are in areas where not a lot of people access then maybe the ground fault feature not as necessary. It is one of those things though, that if and when something happens you are going to be glad you protected yourself accordingly. Therefore, it something that you certainly should not ignore.
