Eaton AFDD-16/2/B/003-A Arc Fault Detection Device, 2-Pole, B16A, 30mA Type A

Unlike conventional circuit breakers that only respond to overcurrents, the Eaton AFDD-16/2/B/003-A integrates arc fault detection, miniature circuit breaker, and residual current protection into a single 2-module unit. This combination safeguards against series and parallel arc faults, short circuits, overloads, and earth leakage currents, significantly reducing the risk of electrical fires in residential and commercial installations.

Highlights

• Combined AFDD, MCB, and RCD protection in one compact device
• Rated current 16 A, tripping characteristic B, residual current 30 mA Type A
• Detects series and parallel arc faults to prevent electrical fires
• Rated voltage 230 V AC, breaking capacity 6 kA
• DIN rail mounting, IP20 terminals / IP40 front
• Complies with IEC/EN 62606, IEC/EN 61009-1, and IEC/EN 60898-1

In daily use

This AFDD+ is ideal for circuits where arc fault protection is required, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and areas with flammable materials. The LED status indicator provides immediate visual confirmation of the device's operational state, while the standard DIN rail mounting ensures quick installation. Its 2-module width saves valuable distribution board space and simplifies wiring.
