[QUOTE="binky, post: 506150, member: 490"] Would an AFDD have prevented a fridge ctching fire? It's not often I have seen a burnt out appliance - 1 tumble drier in 20 yars to be precise. I seem to remember, deep in the regs, a comment about RCDs (300mA) being used in animal barns as a form of fire protection. So that would suggest RCDs offer fire protection anyway, rendering AFDDs redundant?? Bring back re-wirable fuses :pmsl1: [/QUOTE]
