[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 506154, member: 9512"] The argument is that the AFDD would have detected any arcing and disconnected from the supply thus removing the source of energy. A 300mA RCD is indicated for fire prevention, this is basically an order of magnitude of current less than that detected by the RCD. The point given is that any current less than that in the AFDD standard is claimed not to have sufficient energy to cause a fire... [/QUOTE]
