{"title":"Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eArc fault detection devices (AFDD) from ABB detect dangerous series and parallel arcs in final circuits and disconnect them before they start a fire. The range covers ABB S-ARC1 and DS-ARC1 in 1P+N from 6 A to 40 A, with integrated overcurrent protection or with overcurrent and residual current protection.
