AFDDs AMD 2

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?

It only has three AFDD in it.

All the MCBs need to be for lighting circuits or rated in excess of 32 amps.

The longest Eaton AFDD busbar is a four way and assuming you want a couple or more of no-AFDD ways for the lighting and a shower, I cannot see how it can be done using their products without using a multi row consumer unit, which I don’t have an issue with, but they are big.

Siemens are going to have way more than 40% of the market.
