AFDDs, or Arc Fault Detection Devices, are the latest addition to the types of circuit protection used within electrical installations. They are designed to prevent fires caused by electrical arcs, which can be generated if cables or connections become damaged.
In this video, we explore how AFFDs work and where they are used within UK electrical installations.
This video is part of a series covering all types of circuit protection and can be used as part of your CPD continuing professional development record.
