Final answer:
Not all AFCI devices provide GFCI protection. AFCI devices detect and prevent electrical arcing faults, while GFCI devices provide protection against electrical shock.
Step-by-step explanation:
No, not all AFCI devices provide GFCI protection.
An AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a device that is designed to detect and prevent electrical arcing faults in a circuit. It provides protection against fires that can be caused by these arcing faults.
On the other hand, a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a safety device that is designed to provide protection against electrical shock. It detects imbalances in the electrical currents between the hot and neutral wires and interrupts the circuit if an imbalance is detected.
While both AFCI and GFCI devices provide electrical safety, they serve different purposes.
