    John Peckham:

    I would be interested in forum members views on whether AFDD protection is needed on 30mA RCD protected circuits where the CPC is in close contact with the insulation on the live conductors such as T &E and FP200 cables? Would not the 30mA RCD operate far in advance of an AFDD if there was thermal damage to the conductor insulation?




    I assume (hope) that the AFDD (if it works) is protecting more than just breaks in the fixed wiring: loose terminals, faulty equipment etc.
