IEC/EN 62606 Afdd 1P+N Breaker with B/C/D Tripping Characteristics

Product Description

Product Description

The AFDD, known internationally as the Arc-Fault Detection Device and in North America as the AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter), is crafted with precision to adhere flawlessly to IEC/BS EN 62606 standards. This outstanding design guarantees unmatched safety and reliability, setting a new benchmark in protection.

In the realm of circuit protection, excellence is delivered through an extensive portfolio of protective devices. Meticulously engineered MCBs deliver outstanding short-circuit and overload protection. Simultaneously, RCDs (RCCB) ensure robust residual current protection. Despite these measures, conventional methods fall short as an astonishing 90% of electrical fires are triggered by electric arcs. Here, the indispensable AFDD steps in, providing critical arc protection to shield lives and safeguard properties.

The AFDD is a revolutionary all-in-one solution, seamlessly integrating the functionalities of both AFDD and RCBO. It offers a full spectrum of protection, including short-circuit, overload, residual current, arc, and over-voltage defense, strictly adhering to IEC/BS EN 62606 and IEC/BS EN 61009-1 standards. Our advanced device astutely distinguishes between benign and hazardous arcs, ensuring safety by automatically disrupting the circuit upon detecting perilous arcs, common in aging home wiring and loose connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are electrical arcs?
Visible plasma discharges caused by electrical current passing through a normally nonconductive medium, such as air. It is caused when the electrical current ionizes gases in the air. The temperature can exceed 600 ºC, sufficient to start a fire. (20% of fires are associated with electrical distribution or other electrical appliance faults.)
Arc Explanation Diagram
What causes electrical arcs?
An arc is created when the electrical current jumps between two conductive materials. The most common 2 types of arcs are Serial Arc and Parallel Arc. Most common causes include:
  • Worn contacts in electrical equipment
  • Damage to insulation
  • Breaks in cable and loose connections
Arc Cause Diagram
What is an AFDD (Arc-Fault Detection Device)?
AFDD is a protective device installed in consumer units to provide protection from arc faults. It uses microprocessor technology to analyze the waveform of the electricity being used to detect any unusual signatures which would signify an arc on the circuit. It will cut off the power to the affected circuit and could prevent a fire.
AFDD Working Mechanism Diagram
Do I need to install an AFDD?
Yes, it is highly recommended where there is an increased risk of fire. According to standard guidelines, Arc Fault Detection Devices are designed to limit fire risks caused by the presence of arc fault currents in the final circuits of a fixed installation. They are installed in electrical switchboards, to protect circuits supplying power sockets and lighting and are especially recommended in cases of renovation.
AFDD Application Scenario 1
AFDD Application Scenario 2
What regulations apply to AFDD installations according to IEC 60364?
According to IEC 60364 - Electrical installations of buildings Part 4-42: Arc Fault Detection Devices are designed to limit fire risks caused by the presence of arc fault currents in the final circuits of a fixed installation. They are installed in electrical switchboards to protect circuits supplying power sockets and lighting, and are especially recommended in cases of renovation.
Which circuits are highly recommended for AFDD protection?
The installation of the AFDD is highly recommended to protect circuits with the highest risk of fire, including:
  • Protruding cables (risk of knocks)
  • Outside cables (greater risk of deterioration)
  • Unprotected cables in secluded areas (like storage rooms)
  • Aging, deteriorating wiring or wiring for which the connection boxes are inaccessible.
