Arc fault detection device with overcurrent protection 1P+N 6kA B 13A ARC913D

Safety of electrical installations comes first

An arc fault detector with an overcurrent component is a key element of a modern electrical installation, providing protection against the effects of electric arc formation – one of the most common causes of fires in buildings. The ARC913D model from Hager, designed to operate in single-phase circuits with a voltage of 230V, combines arc detection with traditional overcurrent protection. This is a comprehensive solution for installers and homeowners who prioritize safety.

This residual current device (RCD) with AFDD (Arc Fault Detection Device) function reacts not only to leakage currents, but also to characteristic changes in the current waveform that indicate the formation of an electric arc. This effectively protects the installation and devices from damage and minimizes the risk of fire. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure.

Construction features and application

The ARC913D is characterized by a compact design – it occupies only 2 module widths, making it easy to install in electrical distribution boards with limited space. Its energy limitation class 3 and surge category III confirm its high resistance to interference and ability to operate in difficult conditions. The IP20 degree of protection provides protection against finger contact, which is important from the point of view of safety.

Application:

• Protection of lighting circuits: Particularly important due to the risk of arc formation in lighting fixtures.
• Protection of socket circuits: Ensures the safety of connected electrical devices and minimizes the risk of fire caused by damage to cables or devices.
• New installations: An ideal choice for new electrical installations where the priority is to ensure the maximum level of safety.
• Modernization of existing installations: Possibility of replacing traditional circuit breakers with models with arc detection function to increase the safety level of the existing installation.

Advantages and benefits

• Arc fault detection (AFDD): Provides additional protection against fires caused by arcing inside the installation.
• Rated short-circuit breaking capacity 6kA: Guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure.
• Compact dimensions (2 modules): Facilitates installation in distribution boards with limited space.
• Simultaneously disconnecting N pole: Increases safety by completely disconnecting the circuit in the event of a failure.
• B characteristic: Allows for a quick response to overloads and short circuits, while tolerating short-term current surges during the starting of devices (e.g. motors).
• Compliance with standards: The product meets the requirements of EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 standards, which guarantees its reliability and safety.
