Arc Fault Detection Device AFDD-16/2/C/003-A 187210

Arc fault detection for your safety

The AFDD-16/2/C/003-A arc fault detector is an advanced device that significantly increases the safety level of electrical installations. Its main task is to detect electric arcs – often invisible, but posing a serious fire hazard. By combining the functions of an overcurrent and residual current circuit breaker with an AFDD module, it provides comprehensive circuit protection.

Functionality and application

The detector is designed for mounting in electrical switchboards and protecting circuits with a rated current of 16A. The C tripping characteristic makes it ideal for circuits with devices generating short-term current surges, e.g. motors. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA guarantees effective disconnection of the power supply in the event of a failure. This device finds application in both residential and commercial buildings where high reliability and fire protection are required.

Key features and benefits

• Multifunctionality: Combination of overcurrent, residual current circuit breaker and arc fault detector functions in one device – saving space in the switchboard and simplifying installation.
• Early hazard detection: AFDD (Arc Fault Detection Device) effectively detects electric arcs that can cause fires before serious consequences occur.
• Optical signaling: The built-in AFDD module status indicator informs about its correct operation or any problems – facilitates diagnostics and maintenance.
• Safety compliant with standards: Energy limitation class 3 and overvoltage category 3 ensure compliance with applicable safety standards.
• Sensitivity A: Provides high effectiveness in detecting electric arcs while minimizing the risk of false alarms.
• Solid construction: Made of high-quality materials guarantees durability and reliability of the device even in difficult working conditions (IP20).
• Rated current 16A: Optimal choice for most standard lighting and socket circuits.
• Two-pole (2P): Ensures disconnection of both the phase and neutral conductor, which increases the level of safety.

This arc fault detector is an investment in the safety of your electrical installation and the people using it. Its advanced functions allow for a quick response to potential hazards and minimize the risk of fire caused by an electric arc.
