<p>The ARC Fault Detection Device (AFDD) from the DS-ARC1M series is an integral component in ensuring electrical safety and reliability in industrial and commercial applications. Designed to detect and mitigate arc faults, this device offers robust protection against potential electrical fires, providing peace of mind for facility managers and engineers alike.</p><p>Rated at 10 A, this AFDD operates efficiently within a typical voltage range of 230/240 VAC. It boasts a rated impulse withstand voltage of 4 kV and a rated insulation voltage of 500 V, underscoring its capability to handle electrical surges effectively. The device&#39;s breaking capacity stands at an impressive 10 kA at 230 VAC, making it suitable for environments where high fault currents are anticipated.</p><p>Physically compact yet powerful, the AFDD measures 52.5 mm in width, 85 mm in height, and has a depth of 69 mm. Its design includes a single pole plus neutral (1P+N) configuration which simplifies installation on standard DIN rails—ideal for space-constrained panels or enclosures.</p><p>With dual degree protection ratings—IP20 when mounted inside an enclosure and IP40 when installed correctly—it assures users of its resilience against dust ingress while maintaining operational integrity under varied conditions. The device conforms to IEC/EN standards such as IEC/EN 62606, IEC/EN 61009-1, and IEC/EN 61009-2-1 which guarantees compliance with international safety norms.</p><p>The AFDD supports cable cross sections up to 25 sq-mm ensuring compatibility with various wiring setups commonly found in industrial settings. It operates across both standard frequency ranges of 50 Hz and 60 Hz catering to diverse regional power systems.</p><p>Featuring a Type A residual current detection mechanism alongside a C curve trip characteristic ensures that this device provides precise tripping behavior suited for general-purpose circuits with moderate inductive loads like motors or transformers without unnecessary interruptions.</p><p>Its light grey RAL7035 color not only aligns with common panel aesthetics but also aids visibility during maintenance checks or inspections—a subtle yet practical detail appreciated by technicians who prioritize ease-of-use alongside performance metrics.</p><p>Incorporating this ARC Fault Detection Device into your system enhances overall safety protocols by significantly reducing risks associated with arc faults thereby safeguarding both personnel and infrastructure investments over time—all wrapped up neatly within the reliable framework offered by the DS-ARC1M series.</p>
