LED illumination for AFDD operation and arc fault identification
1. LED flashes in RED for 5 times when AFDD is re-closed after tripping, the tripping is caused arc fault.
2. LED flashes in YELLOW for 3 times as one cycle and such cycle repeats for 5 times when AFDD is re-closed after tripping, the tripping is caused by earth leakage fault.
3. LED flashes in YELLOW for 2 times as one cycle and such cycle repeats for 5 times when AFDD is re-closed after tripping, the tripping is caused by over-voltage.
4. LED turns GREEN when AFDD is re-closed after tripping, the tripping is caused by either overload or short circuit.
5. LED flashes in RED, AFDD is operating improperly and shall be replaced by professionals.

Frequently asked questions about AFDD9NL-40 Arc Fault Detection Device for final distribution and branch circuit protection.
AFDD9NL-40 is an Arc Fault Detection Device assembled from an 18mm-wide double-pole RCBO and an arc-detection module.
It is designed for branch circuits to improve electrical safety in final distribution.
AFDD9NL-40 provides arc-fault protection, leakage (residual current) protection, short-circuit protection,
over-current/overload protection, and over-voltage protection.
AFDD9NL-40 offers protection against series arc faults, parallel arc faults, and earth arc faults,
helping reduce the risk of electrical fires caused by arcing.
Yes. AFDD9NL-40 integrates RCBO functions, providing leakage protection and a built-in RCD test button
to verify residual current operation.
AFDD9NL-40 is rated for AC 230/240 V and 50 Hz operation.
AFDD9NL-40 is available in 6A, 10A, 16A, 20A, 25A, 32A, and 40A rated current options.
AFDD9NL-40 is 1P+N. It supports B and C tripping curves and a leakage sensitivity of 30 mA.
AFDD9NL-40 is available with RCD type AC or type A, depending on the application requirements.
The AFDD LED provides status and fault identification: it flashes red for arc-fault trips, flashes yellow for earth leakage
or over-voltage related trips (different flash patterns), and turns green when re-closed after overload or short-circuit trips.
A red flashing LED can also indicate abnormal operation and the device should be replaced by professionals.
