What is the difference between a CAFI and a DF breaker?

Issue:
What is the difference in a CAFI Combination Arc Fault Circuit Breaker and a DF Dual Function breaker?

Product Line:
Circuit Breakers

Resolution:
Combination arc fault circuit interrupters protect branch circuits and all downstream receptacles and cord sets against both high energy parallel arcing (the same as existing branch/feeder AFCIs) and low energy series arcing. A dual function device combines combination arc fault protection with Class A ground fault (people) protection.
