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?

    Just how can An AFDD like this be installed in an UK tin can consumer unit?


    There is only one viable product without a redesign of consumer units, it should be noted that it is also a 10 mA RCBO, there’s a who different approach to designing electrical installations in the rest of Europe, trying to adopt just parts of design doesn’t mean that we will be able to source devices from Europe, they will have to be UK specific.
