The Arc Fault Detection Device… again.

whjohnson
Some humourous but valid observations on AFDDs, the state of the industry, the wiring regs and future amendment requirements.

He also attempts to build a AFFD tester which electrically tests rather than relying upon the mechanical action of the test button on the device itself.

    Incidentally, how many people in here have witnessed a significant fire in a dwelling? My local pub caught fire about 40 years ago. The landlord's bedroom was seriously ablaze. I learned then that a fire extinguisher is 3/8 of ******-all use under those circumstances; and even that assumes that you can see where you are going.


    The cause was said to have been rodent damage to the wiring.


    The only time when I actually called the fire brigade was when the neighbour opposite set light to his fence.
