Arc Fault Detection Device AFDD-13/2/C/003-A 187186

Safety First – Arc Fault Detection Device AFDD-13/2/C/003-A

This two-pole arc fault circuit breaker, with characteristic C and rated current of 13A, is a key element in ensuring the safety of the electrical installation. The device effectively detects electric arcs, which can be the cause of fires, protecting both people and property. This makes it a reliable protection in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

Functionality and application

AFDD-13/2/C/003-A is an advanced device that combines the functions of an overcurrent and residual current circuit breaker with an arc fault detection module (AFDD). Its task is not only to protect against overload and short circuit, but above all to early detect arcing in the wires, which often goes unnoticed by traditional protection. The optical signaling of the AFDD module status informs about the correct operation of the device.

• Fire protection: Detects electric arcs that can cause fires.
• Multifunctionality: Combines the functions of an overcurrent, residual current circuit breaker and arc fault detector.
• Status indication: Built-in optical signaling informs about the correct operation of the AFDD.
• Mounting: Designed for mounting on TH35 rail (standard width 3 modules).
• Application: Ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets and other electrical devices exposed to the formation of electric arcs.

Technical specifications and operating parameters

The AFDD-13/2/C/003-A detector has been designed with reliability and durability in mind. It has energy limitation class 3 and protection degree IP20, which ensures its safe operation in standard environmental conditions. The device operates at a rated voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz, and its rated short-circuit breaking capacity is 10kA according to EN 61009. Characteristic C ensures an appropriate response to short-term current surges, typical for starting motors or other inductive devices. Sensitivity of detection set to level A ensures optimal effectiveness in detecting electric arcs with a minimum number of false alarms. The rated residual current is 0.03A. The overvoltage category is III, and the pollution degree is II – which means it can be used in most standard electrical installations.
