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.

    Hello Chris.

    Thank you for your comments.  I think this was John Ward's puzzle when he was trying to get an Eaton AFDD to trip with a 100 watt lamp on a loose connection and it wouldn't trip.  He subsequently succeeded with a bigger load connected; it's one of several he did on Youtube.  The guys in the Youtube link at the top of this thread seemed to run into the same issue.

    Regards,

              Colin.
