IEC/EN 62606 Certified Afdd TMA3-40 1P+N Circuit Breaker

Product Description

Product Description

Discover the pinnacle of safety with the AFDD, or Arc-Fault Detection Device, a marvel of engineering synonymous with the AFCI in North America. Impeccably designed to conform to IEC/BS EN 62606 standards, this product assures unparalleled safety and dependability, granting you ultimate peace of mind.
In the world of circuit protection, Timelec emerges as a beacon of excellence, offering a comprehensive array of protective devices. Our MCBs are exemplary in delivering top-notch short-circuit and overload protection, while our RCDs (RCCB) provide robust residual current safety. However, traditional techniques lag behind, as an alarming 90% of electrical fires are sparked by electric arcs. Introducing the AFDD, a critical safeguard that provides essential arc protection, effectively shielding lives and property with outstanding proficiency.

 

The Timelec AFDD is a groundbreaking hybrid device, seamlessly integrating AFDD and RCBO functionalities. It affords complete protection against short-circuit, overload, residual current, arc, and over-voltage hazards, complying with the stringent IEC/BS EN 62606 and IEC/BS EN 61009-1 standards. This smart device adeptly differentiates between benign and dangerous arcs, independently interrupting the circuit upon detecting an arc, often caused by loose connections that could lead to devastating fires, especially in aging home wiring.

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.
