Simplify installation with 
Plug-on Neutral Arc Fault and 
Dual Function Breakers
Bring the reliability and protection of CAFI and 
GFCI into the Load Center, where it belongs!
Combination Arc Fault Circuit 
Interrupters (CAFIs)
Arc Fault Breakers 
help provide 
protection against 
dangerous arcing; 
the precursor to 
many electrical fires. 
Square D QO
™
 and 
Homeline
™
 CAFIs help 
protect people and 
property from fires 
caused by electrical 
arcing. These devices 
continuously monitor 
the branch circuit and 
trip when a potentially 
dangerous condition 
is detected.
Dual Function (CAFI + GFCI)
Two critical, state-of-
the-art technologies 
in one device. The 
innovative Square D 
QO and Homeline 
Dual Function Circuit 
Breakers combine 
Combination Arc Fault 
and Ground Fault 
(Class A) Protection 
in one circuit breaker. 
Dual Function Circuit 
Interrupters provide 
the most advanced 
level of  protection. 
Added Value with TIME SAVER Diagnostics
TIME SAVER Diagnostics is the simplist way to troubleshoot an electrical fault. 
In just seconds, you will have an answer as to why a breaker is tripping. 
TIME SAVER Diagnostics 
Eliminate the guesswork with TIME SAVER Diagnostics to identify the 
type of fault that last occurred. 
The TIME SAVER Diagnostics sequence is simple and easy to use and 
requires no tools or special training. 
STEP
1
Simply turn off  the circuit breaker
STEP
2
Hold down the Push-To-Test button.
STEP
3
Turn the circuit breaker back on.
If the circuit breaker trips immediately, it is detecting 
a Ground Fault.
If the circuit breaker trips after a 
2 second delay, it is 
detecting an Arc Fault.
If the circuit breaker trips after a 5 second delay, it 
is a thermal overload or short circuit.
In any of these instances, it is an indication that there is an issue ON the 
circuit and NOT with the circuit breaker itself. (If  there is no issue on the 
circuit to be diagnosed, tripping after a five second delay would also be 
a normal breaker testing operation.)
