IEC/EN 62606 Standard Afdd 1P+N Circuit Breaker with B/C/D Curve

Product Description

Product Description

Introducing the AFDD, also known by its full form as the Arc-Fault Detection Device, and known in North America as the Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI). This state-of-the-art device is meticulously crafted to adhere to the rigorous IEC/BS EN 62606 standards, promising unmatched safety and reliability for users. Experience peace of mind, knowing your electrical systems are protected by a device designed with precision and care.
In the realm of circuit protection, Timelec stands as a beacon of excellence, offering an unmatched suite of protective devices. Our Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) are expertly crafted for superior short-circuit and overload protection. Complementing these, our Residual Current Devices (RCDs or RCCBs) deliver formidable residual current protection. Yet, with an astonishing 90% of electrical fires being sparked by electric arcs, traditional methods simply fall short. Enter the AFDD, an indispensable guardian offering critical arc protection, crafted to shield both lives and properties with unparalleled efficacy.

 

The Timelec AFDD is truly a marvel, an integrated solution merging the functionalities of both AFDD and RCBO. This device offers a comprehensive shield against short-circuits, overloads, residual currents, arcs, and over-voltages, all while adhering to the stringent IEC/BS EN 62606 and IEC/BS EN 61009-1 standards. With intelligent technology, it distinguishes between benign and perilous arcs, promptly interrupting the circuit when detecting an arc-a common result of loose connections. This proactive measure is especially crucial in older home wiring, where such arcs can escalate into devastating fires.

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.
