BG Fortress CURAFDB10A — 10A B Curve Type A AFDD + RCBO (Arc Fault Detection Device, 30mA, 6kA)
The BG CURAFDB10A is a 10A B-curve AFDD with integrated Type A RCBO, delivering the highest level of circuit and fire protection available for domestic and light-commercial installations. It detects dangerous arcing faults—a major cause of electrical fires—that standard MCBs, RCDs and RCBOs cannot identify, including series arcs, parallel arcs and arcing to earth.
By combining AFDD, overload protection, short-circuit protection and 30mA Type A residual-current protection into a compact single-module device, the CURAFDB10A is ideal for socket circuits, lighting, ring finals, and cable routes vulnerable to damage.
AFDD technology continuously monitors circuit waveforms, identifying arc signatures arising from:
Loose or damaged cable terminations
Crushed or degraded cables
Rodent-damaged wiring
Overstressed conductors and failing insulation
The device disconnects the circuit before an electrical fire can develop, making it a critical upgrade for enhanced building safety.
The CURAFDB10A incorporates a complete RCBO, delivering:
30mA Type A RCD protection detecting AC and pulsating DC leakage
Overload and short-circuit protection
Fast, safe disconnection of hazardous currents
This ensures full protection for socket outlets, appliance circuits and areas with increased fire risk.
Compact, Installer-Friendly Design
35mm DIN rail mounting
Positive contact status indication
Terminal capacity from 1–25mm²
High endurance: 4000 electrical / 20,000 mechanical operations
Its slim profile makes AFDD upgrades possible without requiring additional consumer-unit space.
