Theses devices will be sitting in the CU's looking pretty and doing sweet FA at such a cost of them, JW proved that on some of the experiments he carried out on them, especially the 6A it just did not work.

I did a pre ammendment webinar with NAPIT, they have seen the final release but were not allowed to show what it was but was told AFDD has been rained back from the public comment version and now will only be required in certain circumstances, so suspect high rise buildings and maybe HMO's etc, might even include wood framed houses...

I was on the phone this morning, Tuesday, and yes advised the same, I do hate it when people post things that arent 100% correct, The dates end of June, with a 4 month grace period anyway. They are talking about a combined Unit RCBO/AFDD 2 pole, but you cant even buy them yet !!

Available from a few manufacturers for some time now, but not cheap.

The 'economy' solution will be to cut the number of circuits. One lighting circuit and one RFC with everything else hanging off of it.

Gas hob, oven and shower from the combi boiler. 1 rfc for kitchen 1 for rest of house and we will spur off for the lights with 3 amp fcus. Could get away with a garage board!!

AFDD are manditory from the 28th of March on fixed final circuits using current carrying equipment not exeeding 32a People opinions on this. Also if a house doesn't have an afdd what would you code this as on a condition report ? Basically every Circuit would have to be an rcbo afdd at £130 a breaker that's alot of money per Circuit.
