Arc Fault Detection Device AFDD-10/2/C/003-A 187174

Electrical installation fire protection

The arc fault detection device AFDD-10/2/C/003-A is a key element of the fire protection system in buildings. Its task is to detect electric arcs, which can cause fires, before serious consequences occur. This device combines the functions of an overcurrent and residual current circuit breaker with an AFDD module (Arc Fault Detection Device), providing comprehensive protection.

This two-pole circuit breaker, with a rated current of 10A and characteristic C, is designed to operate in 230V networks with a frequency of 50Hz. Characteristic C allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, therefore it tolerates starting devices with a motor well. The rated residual current at 0.03A provides effective protection against electric shock. Additionally, the optical signaling of the AFDD module status informs about its correct operation.

Application and benefits:

• Early hazard detection: The AFDD detector identifies electric arcs that can occur due to damage to wires, loose connections or short circuits.
• Fire protection: A quick response to detected hazards minimizes the risk of fire and limits potential material losses.
• Increased safety: Protection against electric shock thanks to the residual current function (0.03A).
• Versatility: Suitable for use in various types of electrical installations, both in residential and commercial buildings.
• Mounting: Compact dimensions (width 3 modules, depth 67mm) make it easy to install in electrical switchboards. IP20 protection degree provides protection against touching with fingers and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
• Compliance with standards: The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA guarantees safe disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category III confirm the high quality and reliability of the device.

The AFDD-10/2/C/003-A detector is an investment in safety and peace of mind – both for installers responsible for the correct execution of the installation, and for end users who can be sure that their home or company is protected against the effects of a fire caused by an electrical failure. This device meets the highest standards of quality and safety, offering reliable protection against hazards related to electric arcs.
