IEC/EN 62606 Afdd 1P+N Breaker with B/C/D Tripping Characteristics

Product Description

Product Description

The AFDD, known internationally as the Arc-Fault Detection Device and in North America as the AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter), is crafted with precision to adhere flawlessly to IEC/BS EN 62606 standards. This outstanding design guarantees unmatched safety and reliability, setting a new benchmark in protection.
In the realm of circuit protection, Timelec stands as a beacon of excellence with its extensive portfolio of protective devices. Our meticulously engineered MCBs deliver outstanding short-circuit and overload protection. Simultaneously, our RCDs (RCCB) ensure robust residual current protection. Despite these measures, conventional methods fall short as an astonishing 90% of electrical fires are triggered by electric arcs. Here, the indispensable AFDD steps in, providing critical arc protection to shield lives and safeguard properties.

 

The Timelec AFDD is a revolutionary all-in-one solution, seamlessly integrating the functionalities of both AFDD and RCBO. It offers a full spectrum of protection, including short-circuit, overload, residual current, arc, and over-voltage defense, strictly adhering to IEC/BS EN 62606 and IEC/BS EN 61009-1 standards. Our advanced device astutely distinguishes between benign and hazardous arcs, ensuring safety by automatically disrupting the circuit upon detecting perilous arcs, common in aging home wiring and loose connections.

FAQ

Whatarearcs?
Visible plasma discharges caused by electrical current passing through a normally nonconductive medium, such as air.
It is caused when the electrical current ionizes gases in the air.
The temperature can exceed 600 ºC, sufficient to start a fire.
(20% fire associated with electrical distribution or other electrical appliance faults.)

Whatcauses arcs?
An arc is created when the electrical current jumps between two conductive material. Most 2 types of arcs are Serial
Arc and Parallel Arc.
Most common causes includes:
1. worn contacts in electrical equipment,
2. damage to insulation,
3. break in cable and loose connections, Etc.


What is AFDD?
AFDD is protective device installed in consumer units to provide protection from arc faults.
It uses microprocessor technology to analyze the waveform of the electricity being used to detect any unusual signatures
which would signify an arc on the circuit.
It will cut off the power to the affected circuit and could prevent a fire.

Do I need to install AFDD?
Yes, it is highly recommended where there is an increased risk of fire

According to IEC 60364 - Electrical installations of buildings Part 4-42 :
Arc Fault Detection Devices are designed to limit fire risks caused by the presence of arc fault currents in the final circuits of a fixed installation.They are installed in electrical switchboards, to protect circuits supplying power sockets and lighting and are especially recommended in cases of renovation.

More specifically, the installation of the AFDD is highly recommended to protect circuits with highest risk of fire, such as:

•Protruding cables (risk of knocks)

•Outside cables (greater risk of deterioration)

•Unprotected cables in secluded areas (like storage rooms)

Aging, deteriorating wiring or wiring for which the connection boxes are inaccessible.
