Among the significant changes included in the Amendment 2 to BS 7671:2018 (18th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations) is a new requirement for Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs) in AC final circuits supplying socket-outlets in some types of higher risk residential buildings.

Amendment 2 was published on 28 March 2022 and comes into full force on September 28, 2022. Scolmore is pleased to announce that it has added a comprehensive range of AFDDs to its Elucian by Click consumer unit and protective devices collection.

The new range comprises Type A 1 Pole + Neutral True 6 kA B Curve and C Curve 30 mA Trip AFDDs with integral RCBOs, which are available in 6 A, 10 A, 16 A, 20 A, 32 A and 40 A, complete with 450 mm neutral out tails.

Elucian AFDDs with integral RCBOs offer arc fault detection; fault reporting; self-test; green LED indication; and BS EN 62606 and BS EN 61009-1 compliance. They are available in 6A, 10A, 16A, 20A, 32A and 40A variants with B and C trip curves available. 

Scolmore has made the AFDDS with 18 mm single width size to harmonise with the existing range of Elucian RCBOs and circuit-breakers, only taking up a single DIN rail space.
