10kA AFDD

Proteus Switchgear are proud to introduce its latest innovation in electrical safety, the single module 10kA Arc Fault Detection Device (10kA AFDD) combined with a RCBO. Designed to provide comprehensive protection in a single module, this device is suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential installations. With both B and C curve options available, this 30mA, Type A device is designed to meet the evolving demands of modern electrical installations.

The device complete circuit protection by combining arc fault detection with short circuit, overload, and earth leakage protection. It is equipped to detect both series and parallel arc faults by continuously monitoring the waveform of the electrical current. This ensures early detection of potentially dangerous faults that could otherwise lead to electrical fires, providing a higher level of safety.

With a 10kA short circuit rating, this AFDD + RCBO is ideal for installations where higher short circuit protection is required, making it suitable for use in industrial and commercial settings. Here are some key areas where a 10kA AFDD could enhance your installation:

  1. Commercial Buildings: Large office buildings, shopping centres, and hotels.

  2. Industrial Facilities: Factories, warehouses, and manufacturing plants often deal with high-powered machinery.

  3. Renewable Energy Installations: Our 10kA AFDD can handle energy flowing in both directions.

  4. Multi-Occupancy Buildings: Apartment complexes or student housing, where multiple units share a single electrical infrastructure.

  5. Critical Infrastructure: Data centres, hospitals, and airports.

  6. Public Buildings: Schools, libraries, and other public facilities where high safety standards are required

Additionally, its bidirectional capability makes it perfect for renewable energy applications, as it can handle power flow in both directions, supporting the integration of solar panels and other distributed energy resources into the grid.

By offering advanced protection in a single module, this device not only enhances safety but also saves valuable space in electrical installations, reducing the overall footprint within the consumer unit. At Proteus we continue to lead the way in electrical safety innovation with this versatile, high-performance solution. This device is available in addition to our existing single module 6kA rated AFDD + RCBO in compliance with BS 7671.
