AFCIs are also known to be sensitive (false tripping) to the presence of radio frequency energy, especially within the so-called high frequency (HF) spectrum (3–30 MHz), which includes legitimate shortwave broadcasting, over-the-horizon aircraft and marine communications, amateur radio, and citizens band radio operations. Sensitivities and ...
The Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) has its origins in the energy management projects initiated in the United Kingdom by the Electricity Council in the early 1980s. Three projects investigated the feasibility of using the telephone network, the distribution network and national radio for large scale energy management purposes.
Special wiring rules apply to wet or corrosive locations, [13] and to locations which present an explosion hazard. [14] Wiring materials for use in the United States must generally be made and tested to product standards set by NEMA and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and must bear approval marks such as those set by UL.
A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage protection device, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through a conductor is not equal and opposite in both directions, therefore indicating leakage current to ground or ...
Telephone wiring is required between the telephone company's service entrance and locations throughout the home. Often a home will have telephone outlets in the kitchen, study, living room or bedrooms for convenience. Telephone company regulations may limit the total number of telephones that can be in use at one time.
induction motors self-adjust (lower frequency reduces the energy use); under-frequency relays disconnect interruptible loads; ancillary services are engaged (load is reduced as procured via reliability services contracts). Another term commonly used for the primary control is frequency response (or "beta").

A wire break in the fault to load section, or in the earth to ground section, will disable operation of the devices. Requirement of an additional third wire from the load to the devices. Separate devices cannot be grounded individually. Any additional connection to Earth on the protected system can disable the detector.
