A single pole arc fault circuit interrupter with miswire detection includes a first terminal for connection to the hot line of a power source, a circuit interrupter connected to the first terminal; a second terminal for connection to the hot line of an electrical load; a third terminal for connection to a neutral line of a power source; a fourth terminal, connected to the third terminal for connection to the neutral line of an electrical load; a fifth terminal for connection to the ground line of an electrical power source; a circuit interrupter connected between the first terminal and the second terminal; an arc detector coupled in circuit relationship between the first terminal and the second terminal, the arc detector having an output for producing a signal when an arc is sensed; a neutral-ground potential detector connected between the third terminal and the fifth terminal, the neutral-ground potential detector having an output producing a signal when a voltage is detected between the third and fifth terminals; and a controller connected to the arc detector and the neutral- ground potential detector for operating the circuit interrupter for disconnecting the first terminal from the second terminal when either an arc is detected, as indicated by the presence of a signal at the output of the arc detector, or a hot/neutral reversal is detected as indicated by the presence of a signal at the output of the neutral-ground potential detector.
