1. An arc fault circuit interrupter, comprising:
a plurality of current arc signature detection blocks configured to output a plurality of corresponding current arc signatures;
a processor configured to receive each of the plurality of current arc signature from each of plurality of current arc signature detection blocks, respectively, and generate a first trigger signal;
a relay module configured to trip the arc fault circuit interrupter in response to the first trigger signal;
a reset button module configured to place the tripped arc fault circuit interrupter back into an operating condition;
a force trigger testing mechanism configured to trip the arc fault circuit interrupter; and
a test button configured to activate the force trigger testing mechanism even when the arc fault circuit interrupter is unpowered.
