线缆式故障电弧断路器行业进展

Industry Progress in the Cord AFCI

美国NEC机构研究表明故障电弧现象是导致供电线路起火和电器设备起火的主要原因。近几年来,国内外多个知名电器厂家的产品在北美地区发生了起火事件,导致巨额赔款和产品召回。为此,美国政府和UL认证机构计划把线缆式故障电弧断路器加入到除湿机整机认证标准中,并逐步推广至其他电器产品上。

The American NEC research has shown that the arc fault is the main reason of the fire in the power line and the fire of electrical equipment. In recent years, the products of many famous domestic and foreign electric appliance manufacturers have caught fire in North America, resulting in huge indemnity and product recall. In order to reduce the probability of these problems, UL certification authorities plan to add the cord arc fault current interrupter to the dehumidifier certification standard and gradually promote it to other electrical products.
