  • Yes, been watching it coming over the hill! Apparently the available units are a bit clunky at the moment. I suppose there are a lot of big firms who install a huge amount of these before it filters down to the domestic market.

    Arcing in Consumer Units is the main cause of electrical fire in the UK so it makes sense they're looking at it. I'm not sure if this is the prime reason for the recommendation.

  • New one's are single space units. So just straight replacement mcb or RCBO`s.

    Same thing when RCBO's came in.

    They will get more common place and cheaper as industrial and commercial will take the hit well before domestic.

  • I really like the RCBO's now they don't cost the earth. Takes no time to fit them and they are great for protection so I guess the AFDD will end up being about the same price once they are mandatory.
