AFDDs AMD 2

John Peckham
In response to the suggestion of separate threads for individual changes to the 18th I thought I would start this one for AFDDs.


So what are the forum members views on the new requirement for AFDDs?


What is the safety case for the change? E.g impact on public safety, fires etc.Evidence?


What is the impact on the installation industry? How easy to fit, cost advantages disadvantages etc?


Will you feedback to the BSI on the changes and what will you say?

    I realise that the proposed regulation says single-phase circuits, but the circuit could originate in a three-phase distribution board and as far as I am aware it definitely cannot be done by installing single-phase AFDD in an existing or new Wylex three-phase board.


    Is there any manufacturer that makes a suitable AFDD for commercial installations that doesn’t require the installation of domestic consumer units to install AFDD?
