NEMA collaborates with UL on free online program on AFCI technology

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and UL have collaborated to create a new, free online training program designed to teach safe and effective ways to install and troubleshoot issues with arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs).

The program is available for free through Knowledge Services, UL's fast-growing training, advisory and software solutions business unit.

The course will help electrical professionals complete trouble-free installation of AFCIs and provide expert advice on finding and fixing electrical system problems that may cause AFCIs to trip. The program targets those who install electrical systems in residences – whether they are single, multifamily or apartment buildings – where AFCIs are a National Electrical Code (NEC) requirement.
