1. Brief introduction of AFDD

AFDD (arc fault detection device) is a new electrical anti-fire equipment. It could avoid various of fires caused by short circuit, circuit aging, heavy load, poor contact, electric failure, etc. Automatic control is realized by built-in computer chip. Its operating principle: when arc impulse is processed, compared and identified by electronic circuit and MCU. Once fault arc impulse which easily creates fire is detected, the output will drive the tripping unit to cut off the load power supply, to prevent the fire accident.

2. Function of AFDD

AFDD aims to detect hazardous arc impulse which easily creates fire (such as insulation decreasing between lines, over-load, short circuit, poor contact of connector, arc caused by house electrical apparatus fault), then it triggers tripping unit to cut off the power supply to prevent electrical fire. AFDD is used together with leakage circuit breaker, low voltage circuit breaker (overcurrent protection) to build a multi function electrical protective device. As a true intelligent low voltage electrical apparatus, it can not only prevent electrical fire, electric shock to human, overload danger, etc, but also be customized with different functions.

3. Application of AFDD

As per IEC62606, these different ratings available: 10A, 16A, 20A, 32A, 40A, 63A, usually used in residential houses as a terminal protective device. The applications of AFDD are wide. In theory, it can be used to avoid fire wherever there is electricity, such as in residential house, office building, hospital, shopping mall, supermarket, factory, vehicle (auto, train, vessel, airplane), especially for anti-fire used in residential house.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AFDD and how does it prevent electrical fires?
An Arc Fault Detection Device (AFDD) is an advanced safety device that processes, compares, and identifies electrical arc impulses using an internal computer chip and MCU. When a dangerous fault arc is detected, it automatically trips the unit to cut off power, stopping electrical fires before they start.
What specific safety protections does this AFDD offer?
This device combines multiple protective features into a single smart unit, providing Arc Fault Protection, Overload Protection, Short-Circuit Protection, and Earth-Leakage Protection.
Where should Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs) be installed?
AFDDs are ideal terminal protection devices for residential homes, office buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, supermarkets, factories, and transport vehicles such as trains, vessels, and airplanes.
What are the main electrical specifications of this model?
It features a rated operating voltage of 230V~, a rated breaking capacity of 6,000A, a rated frequency of 50Hz, and a 30mA rated residual operating current with a break time of ≤0.1 seconds.
