Honeywell AFDD’s for HMO

[Chris Archer]

I’ve just been to quite a job,
Which is a domestic property being converted to a HMO,

The current Fuseboard is Honeywell with 2 socket circuits that I need to upgrade to AFDD’s,
Only I can’t find anywhere to purchase them,

Does any one know where I can purchase them?
Or if MK will fit?
Or any other brand?

Cheers
Chris

The so called regulations have gone mad, trying to protect everyone and everything, the things that come to mind are: jobs worth: manufacturers driving the IET to re-draft their so called Regulations for dare I say their benefit i.e profit.

421.1.7 Arc fault detection devices conforming to EN62606 shall be provided for single phase AC final circuits supplying socket outlets with rated current not exceeding 32A in:
• Higher risk residential buildings
• Houses of multiple occupancy (HMO)
• Purpose built student accommodation
• Care homes NOTE 1: Higher Risk Residential Buildings are assumed to be residential buildings over 18m in height or in excess of six storeys, whichever is met first. It is anticipated that in many areas, higher risk residential buildings will be defined in legislation which can be subject to change over time, as well as in risk management procedures adopted by fi re and rescue services. Current legislation should be applied. For all other premises, the use of AFDDs conforming to BS EN62606 is recommended for single phase AC final circuits supplying socket outlets not exceeding 32A. Where used, AFDDs shall be placed at the origin of the circuit to be protected
