BG AFDD RCBO 16A 30MA Type A Double Pole Bi Directional CURAFDB16DPA

BG CURAFDB16DPA Bidirectional AFDD RCBO: 16A B Curve, 30mA Type A, 6kA, 1P+N (Double Pole) Single Module Arc Fault Protection.

The BG CURAFDB16DPA combines an Arc Fault Detection Device and a 16A RCBO in one 17.85mm module. It gives arc fault, earth leakage, overload and short-circuit protection from a single DIN rail position. It switches both live and neutral as standard and is bidirectional, so you can wire it to suit the board layout.

Arc Fault Detection for Radial Circuits

The 16A rating and B Curve characteristic make the CURAFDB16DPA well suited to radial circuits and power circuits running low-power appliances in domestic and light commercial installations. It detects series arcing in damaged cable, parallel arcing between conductors, and parallel arcing between live and earth, all of which a standard MCB, RCBO or RCD cannot see. Faults are cut off before they can develop into an electrical fire.

Protection covers the full circuit, including spurs and connected leads. That makes it a strong choice for bedrooms, HMOs, rental properties and any installation where fire risk needs to be kept to a minimum.

Reliable Protection in Tough Conditions

The 30mA Type A residual current protection detects pulsed DC above 6mA, so earth leakage protection stays dependable on circuits feeding modern electronic appliances. The 6kA breaking capacity provides robust short-circuit protection.

Pollution Degree 3 testing and a −25°C to +40°C operating range keep the device reliable in enclosures exposed to condensation or changing temperatures, such as garages, workshops and external boards.

Quick Retrofit & BS 7671 Compliance

The single module format fits the BG range of consumer units and enclosures and retrofits easily into existing boards. You can upgrade a circuit to AFDD protection without replacing the consumer unit. Double pole switched neutral disconnection fully isolates the circuit for safer testing and fault finding.

The device complies with BS 7671 Amendment 4 and is built to IEC/EN 61009-1 and IEC/EN 62606, with CE and UKCA marking. An integral test button allows routine testing in line with the IET Wiring Regulations, which supports your certification and handover paperwork.
