Leviton today announced the launch of TrueArc(TM) AFCI Technology, a next-generation advancement in AFCI circuit protection now available in Leviton AFCI and Dual Function AFCI/GFCI breakers for Leviton Load Centers. Developed through years of research, development, testing and real-world field evaluation, this technology helps prevent unnecessary tripping resulting from electrical signatures that resemble faults, or nuisance tripping, while maintaining protection that meets UL 1699 AFCI requirements and supports NEC(R) AFCI compliance requirements. Leviton's new TrueArc AFCI Technology is engineered to minimize nuisance tripping and has been extensively tested in real-world field installations across the United States and Canada. As homes utilize more electronics, connected devices, LED lighting, efficient appliances, EV chargers and switching power supplies, their increasingly complex electrical signatures can resemble fault conditions. TrueArc technology provides advanced circuit protection that can better distinguish normal electrical activity from a genuine arc fault with maximum efficiency. This helps prevent contractors from having to take troubleshooting phone calls from homeowners or making site callbacks. "Electrical professionals have made it clear that reducing nuisance tripping remains one of the biggest opportunities for improvement in AFCI protection," said Aaron Ard, Vice President of Residential Product Management at Leviton. "TrueArc technology delivers the performance contractors have been asking for, significantly reducing nuisance tripping, while maintaining the protection required by modern safety standards. It's a no-nonsense AFCI solution built for today's homes and tomorrow's electrical loads." TrueArc AFCI technology combines a newly developed high-resolution sensing platform with a powerful processor that uses machine learning-based classification to continuously evaluate electrical patterns. By providing more information for analysis, the enhanced platform helps the breaker distinguish normal appliance operation and complex electronic loads from conditions that may indicate a true arc-fault hazard. To validate performance, Leviton conducted extensive field trials with electrical professionals throughout North America and collaborated with major appliance manufacturers to evaluate compatibility across a broad range of residential electrical loads. The technology was specifically developed to improve immunity to common contributors to nuisance tripping, including high-frequency electrical noise and activity occurring on neighboring circuits. The result is a future-ready AFCI platform designed for modern homes filled with electronics and sophisticated electrical loads. By better distinguishing normal appliance behavior from genuine fault conditions, TrueArc technology can help electrical professionals reduce troubleshooting visits and callbacks, improve homeowner satisfaction and spend less time diagnosing unwanted trips. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Which products feature TrueArc technology? A: TrueArc technology is available in Leviton AFCI and Dual Function AFCI/GFCI breakers for Leviton Load Centers, including standard and Smart 15A and 20A one-pole configurations. Q: Does TrueArc still meet AFCI safety requirements? A: Yes. TrueArc AFCI breakers continue to comply with UL 1699 AFCI requirements and support NEC AFCI compliance requirements. Q: Why was TrueArc developed? A: Modern homes contain more electronics, smart home devices, LED lighting, appliances and electrically complex loads than ever before. TrueArc was developed to improve compatibility with these evolving residential electrical environments while maintaining arc-fault protection.

Leviton has launched TrueArc AFCI Technology, designed to cut nuisance tripping, in which breakers trip because of electrical signals that resemble faults. It is available in Leviton arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) and Dual Function AFCI/GFCI breakers for Leviton Load Centers. Modern homes have more electronics, LED lighting, EV chargers, and switching power supplies, whose complex electrical signatures can mimic faults. TrueArc pairs a high-resolution sensing platform with a processor that uses machine learning to tell normal activity from genuine arc faults. The company tested the technology in field installations across the United States and Canada. It says the breakers still meet UL 1699 AFCI requirements and support National Electrical Code AFCI compliance. "TrueArc technology delivers the performance contractors have been asking for," said Aaron Ard, vice president of residential product management at Leviton.
