Line 128:
There are several references in this article to Power Fault Circuit Interrupters, but I cannot find any further information about them online. All I found are brief mentions in sites advertising proprietary receptacle products. I am marking these references as "citation needed" for now, but I think it would be good if someone with more knowledge in this area can either find citations or remove the references altogether.

== Overspecific Limitations ==
There are a few claims under the limitations heading which seem pretty irrelevant for example:
<blockquote>Also, AFCIs provide no specific protection against ''glowing'' connections also known as a [[High Resistance Connection]], excess current, high line voltages or low line voltages. AFCI circuit breakers include a standard inverse-time circuit breaker. Glowing connections occur when relatively high current exists in a relatively large resistance object. Heat comes from power dissipation. This energy, when dissipated in a small junction area, can generate temperatures above 1000 °C (1800 °F) and can ignite most flammable materials.</blockquote>
Might as well say a bullet proof vest does not protect against drowning. Shall we keep this text or clean it up?
