JC3AF Single Module 1P+N Arc fault Detection Device (AFDD+RCBO)

JC3AF AFDD consists of a Type A RCBO and a Arc fault detection module in a single module DIN rail mounted unit. They combine short circuit, overload, over voltage, earth leakage protection and arc fault protection and will disconnect Live and Neutral poles in the event of these faults. It could avoid various of fires caused by short circuit, circuit aging, heavy load, poor contact, fault electrical devices etc.

Description

JC3AF AFDD consists of a Type A RCBO and a Arc fault detection module in a single module DIN rail mounted unit. They combine short circuit, overload, over voltage, earth leakage protection and arc fault protection and will disconnect Live and Neutral poles in the event of these faults. It could avoid various of fires caused by short circuit, circuit aging, heavy load, poor contact, fault electrical devices etc.

Automatic control is realized by built-in computer chip. Its operating principle: the detected arc impulse is processed, compared and identified by electronic circuit and MCU. Once fault arc impulse which easily creates fire detected, the output will drive tripping unit to cut off the load power supply, so that the fire is prevented.

Protective Area

JC3AF AFDDs combines AFDD, MCB and A type RCD devices.They can detect & respond as for type AC, PLUS pulsating DC components. This allows to provide the highest protection level. Ideal for Domestic and Commercial applications

Overvoltage Protection

Overvoltage condition of 270Vrms to 300Vrms for 10 seconds will cause device to trip. LED indication of over-voltage trip will be provided on product re-latch.

Series & Parallel Arc Fault

JC3AF is designed to activate and shut off power when it detects both series and parallel arc faults, preventing potential fire hazards

Application

JC3AF AFDD is designed for use in single phase AC current systems in either single phase only units or on one phase of a 3 phase distribution unit at a rated Voltage of 230V @ 50Hz. The JC3AF must not be used in DC networks.

JC3AF Devices combine the function of a residual current operated device for earth leak detection, overcurrent protection for short-circuit and Arc fault detection for both parallel and series arcs. The device is intended to reduce the risk of fires by ignition from electrical sources.
