Portable AFDDs by Titan Power
What is an AFDD?
An Arc Fault Detection Device is an electrical safety device that is designed to detect and respond to faults in the buildings electrical system. Arc faults can be caused by damaged, overheated or loose electrical connections, and can lead to electrical fires if not detected and addressed. Even the slightest minor breakdown in cable insulation can lead to arcing which in turn can cause fires.
AFDDs provide important additional protection against fire that other protection devices cannot provide. A major change in IET Wiring Regulations, BS 7671: 2018+A2:2022, is that the use of AFDDs has changed to being mandatory for some socket-outlet circuits in certain types of premises, and recommended in all other types of premises for the prescribed socket-outlet circuits.

Portable AFDD Features
Electrical Standards Requirement
Electrical Standards now require the installation of AFDDs in specific applications to improve electrical safety.
Diagnostic Capabilities
Some AFDDs offer diagnostic capabilities that help identify and address electrical issues before they lead to arc faults, promoting preventative maintenance and reducing the likelihood of downtime.
Fire Safety Enhancement
AFDDs significantly enhance fire safety by detecting and preventing electrical arc faults, which are a common cause of electrical fires. By interrupting the circuit upon detecting an arc fault, AFDDs minimise the potential damage.
36 Month Warranty
We offer a 3-Year Warranty on all Parts and Manufacturing Defects as standard for our AFDD Range.
How does an AFDD Work?
- AFDDS use microprocessor technology to analyse the waveform of the electricity being used to detect any unusual signatures which would signify an arc on the circuit.
- This cuts off power to the affected circuit which could prevent a fire.
- They are much more sensitive to arcs than conventional circuit protective devices.
Where do I need AFDD Protection?
Simply put, AFDD Protection needs to be at the origin of final circuis with socket outlets, where the currect rating is 32A or below in the following building types:
- Higher Risk Residential Buildings (In excess of 6 Stories)
- Houses in Multiple Occupation
- Purpose built for Students and Care Homes
It is recommended using AFDD Protection for highest risk properties including:
- Thatched Roofed Houses
- Public Places (Cinema, Theatres, Schools etc.)
- Hospitals and Healthcare, Heritage Buildings and Museums
