Which application should I use Resi9 AFDDs in?
Schneider Electric recommends the use of AFDDs in final sub-circuits with high risk of fire. AFDDs are designed to protect both residential and commercial electrical installations.
We would highly recommend it for power (socket outlet) circuits due to potential:
•       Arcing in extension boards.
•       Damage to cables plugged into socket outlets behind furniture like bedsides or sofas.
•       Damage to extension leads due to bending around corners or trapping under furniture.
•       Damage to plugged cables due to temperature variation, ultraviolet rays, vibrations, humidity, and rodents in outdoor environment.
•       You should also consider lighting and other circuits in following applications:
•       Premises with children, handicapped or elderly people that might take longer to evacuate in case of fire.
•       Premises constructed with combustible materials e.g. wooden buildings that might not allow enough time to evacuate.
•       Premises with high risk of fire due to nature of processed or stored goods like home-based business storing large amounts of paper, wooden or other combustible materials
•       Irreplaceable goods stored on premises  

Please refer to standard AS/NZS 3000 for further information.
