Abstract

Despite the numerous electric systems that have been developed, electric fires remain at a similar rate each year in total fires. This paper suggests that it is not enough to prevent electric fires only by the currently used electric system. We have studied ways to improve this situation. we have focused on AFCIs that have already been institutionalized in the United States. AFCIs work by detecting the arc fault in the circuit. This is expected to contribute greatly to reducing electric fires.
