What type of receptacle detects and shuts down dangerous amounts of power before it can become a hazard from the arcing of electricity?
Answer AFCI
An AFCI detects and shuts down a receptacle when a possibly hazardous electrical arc occurs. All 120-volt and 15 or 20 amp circuits should be AFCI when in rooms or areas without water. It stands for an arc-fault circuit interrupter.
