An Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) is a circuit breaker that breaks the circuit when it detects an electric arc in the circuit it protects to prevent electrical fires. An AFCI selectively distinguishes between a harmless arc (incidental to normal operation of switches, plugs, and brushed motors), and a potentially dangerous arc (that can occur, for example, in a lamp cord which has a broken conductor).
North America has the largest global export quantity and manufacturers in Direct Current Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) market, while the Europe is the second sales volume market for Direct Current Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) in 2017. The main driver of North America is that National Electrical Code 2011 Edition (2011 NEC) sets new requirements for photovoltaic (PV) systems installed on or penetrating a building. These requirements apply to newly installed PV systems with a maximum voltage of 80 volts or greater. Such PV systems must be equipped with direct current (DC) arc-fault circuit protection.
Nowadays, there are two mainly types of Direct Current Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI), including Max. string voltage <1000VDC and Max. string voltage ?1000VDC is the main type for Direct Current Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI), and the Max. string voltage ?1000VDC reached a sales volume of approximately 416.42 K Unit in 2017, with 80.88% of global sales volume.

According to this study, over the next five years the Direct Current Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) market will register a 17.7% CAGR in terms of revenue, the global market size will reach US$ 220 million by 2024, from US$ 100 million in 2019.
