Connecting up an AFDD unit (Arc Fault Detection Device) and Powering it up in a Crabtree Board EAL Awards City & Guilds AFDD identify dangerous faults caused by arcing in electrical circuits and are designed to switch off the circuit before a fire occurs. Under the 18th Edition of the Wiring Regulations and beyond wider use of these types of devices is expected. This video shows a practical demonstration of building and then connecting up an AFDD from Crabtree. Videos are training aids for City

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 devel
