Enhanced Protection
Against Arc Faults

What is an AFDD?

An AFDD is a device that is installed in your consumer unit to protect against arc faults. It does this by monitoring the waveform of electricity being used to detect unusual signatures that would signify an arc.
When an arc is detected, power to the circuit is cut off and the threat of fire is minimised. They are specifically designed to be more sensitive to arcs than regular circuit protection devices.

Enhanced Protection Against Arc Faults

The smart way to detect arc faults in your circuit.
With the amendment 2 of the 18th Edition it is now required for AFDDs to be installed for circuits supplying socket outlets in 4 areas;

• High Risk Residential Buildings (18m or 6 Storeys +)
• Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMO),
• Purpose Built Student Accommodation
• Care Homes

AFDD Detection

Condition	Repeat for 25 Seconds
Series Arc Fault
Parallel Arc Fault
Over Voltage Fault
Self Test Fault
No Fault

Self Test Overview:

• The Self Test feature is carried out automatically within each hour.
• In the event of a Self-Test failure, the AFDD will trip with the fault identified by the LED flashing sequence.

What can an AFDD Detect?

• A series arc fault
  Is where the arc happens between two parts of the same conductor, such as a broken line conductor or a poorly terminated line conductor.
• A parallel arc fault
  Is where the arc occurs between the line conductor and either the neutral or earth conductors. If an arc fault occurs between line and earth there is quite a high likelihood that the RCD part of the AFDD will also operate.
• Over Voltage Detection
  This may indicate that the property has had a surge in voltage, if this continues you would need to contact the Electricity provider for your property.

B & C Curve
Elucian AFDDs are available in B and C curves, with the following amperages, 6A, 10A, 16A, 20A, 32A and 40A.

Self Test Function
Elucian AFDDs contain inbuilt self-test function which operates initially on first power up and less than once every hour to ensure the device is fully operational.
