Arc faults, which occur out of sight within installations, have the potential to ignite fires and cause enormous damage. Statistics show that 20-30% of fires are the result of faults in electrical systems.
Eaton’s unique technology provides more effective protection against electrical fires to protect people, property and assets. Choose the best level of protection for your next project.
Did you know that in Europe 20-30% of fires are caused by electrical failures?
Does your car have air bags, safety belts and ABS? Of course, because these are now mandatory requirements. But not so long ago, these critical safety features were considered optional extras.
Why not take the same approach to your latest domestic electrical installation? A new product category – the Arc Fault Detection Device (AFDD) – will help you take the safety of domestic installations to the next level. The new AFDD+ from Eaton picks up arc faults that standard RCDs and MCBs can’t detect, thereby reducing the risk of fires in electrical installations.
As we have seen, electrical faults are capable of causing fires and extensive damage. However, standards differ across Europe and have evolved over time, so even a compliant installation in a newly built residential property may not be as safe as residents expect it to be. And in existing housing stock, electrical systems may only meet the regulations that applied at the time they were installed – and thus fail to provide complete protection.
By choosing Eaton’s range of protection devices for residential power distribution, you can help to protect people, assets and property – as well as your reputation.
