One difficulty with AFDDs is that where the 18th edition requires them eg HMOs there tend to be quite a few required because there is often a separate socket circuit to each bedroom (room rentals). Maybe 5-10 depending on the size of the HMO. So, if they fail, and given that they are still pricy per unit, that maintenance cost could really add up over time. I gather, fusebox provide a 1 year warranty. I've just seen one fail at 14 months. One solution might be to fit another brand of AFDD but that raises the question of what brand of RCBO/AFDD would be type-tested for fusebox board? Any ideas? Does anyone have more detail about the recall? I can't find anything online.Exactly that Rockingit, all we have is our rcd testing side of it so what can we say my intention for the post was purely to see others experiences and maybe see how common the occurance was with AFDDs because so far ive been told from fusebox themselves and 2 stockists that this is the first they've herd of .
Hope you're well and maybe others will come along and share their experiences too.
Thanks for your input mate and hope alls well
He said Lewden AFDDs had no problem because they were all tested in the UK and not China.
