Since December 2017, the use of a fire protection switch when building new systems or expanding or modifying existing system is required under DIN VDE 0100-420:2016-02. Electrical faults are among the most common causes of fires, which may be triggered by damaged cable insulation, crushed wires, bent connectors, loose contact points, or faulty terminal devices.


Protection against fire in the form of „Arc Fault Detection Devices“ (AFDD) is therefore required for low-voltage systems. These devices provide protection against the occurrence of dangerous serial or parallel arc faults in single-phase alternating current systems with currents up to 16A.


FTG (Sub-brand of Amphenol-GIS) feels obliged to play its part in protecting people and capital assets and preventing fires and has developed the AFDD busbar, which is made from halogen-free material, especially for this purpose. Providing all-round protection for safe connections!
