Someone stated that the receptacle type device would provide better protection. This is a false, and dangerous statement. 40% of electrical fires occur behind the walls, in the ceilings and in the floors between the loadcenter and the receptacle. The arcs in this area tend to be the more dangerous parallel arcs that have much higher energy and capacity to create a fire. How does a receptacle hope to prevent an upstream event?
So we require the use of a device that may prevent 40% of the fires as oposed to 60%???
