AFDD's protect against arcing, overheating, insulation faults in wiring systems, and should be installed at the origin of single-phase AC circuit. The purpose of the new AFDD device is to reduce the estimated 13,000 electrical fires that occur each year in the UK, and although the installation of an AFDD is not strictly a regulation requirement, it is highly recommended for any property to have one installed for peace of mind and for the protection it offers. AFDD’s work by continuously monitoring the circuit for a variety of conditions, including the duration of the arc, irregularity and the waveform. When a fault is detected the device shuts down the supply preventing the risk of fire.
