Why Choose the ABB EPH-S66211-AF Protecta Home 11-Way AFDD-Compatible Consumer Unit?
The ABB EPH-S66211-AF is an 11-way AFDD-compatible split-load consumer unit from the ABB Protecta Home range, designed for residential and light commercial electrical distribution. Featuring a 63 A main switch isolator and two 63 A residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs), this consumer unit provides central supply isolation and two separate residual current protection groups.
Designed to accommodate compatible arc fault detection devices (AFDDs), the EPH-S66211-AF offers 11 outgoing circuit ways and 22 modular positions. Its AFDD-compatible layout provides additional modular space for suitable protective devices, making it a practical choice for installations where arc fault detection forms part of the electrical protection strategy.
Housed in a durable steel enclosure measuring 500 × 330 × 105 mm, the ABB EPH-S66211-AF combines a space-efficient distribution arrangement with flexible circuit grouping. Its factory-fitted switching and residual current protection configuration supports professional electrical installations using appropriately selected ABB modular protective equipment.

11-Way AFDD-Compatible Distribution with Dual 63 A RCCB Protection
The ABB EPH-S66211-AF is designed for installations where arc fault detection protection is required or specified. AFDDs monitor electrical circuits for characteristic arcing conditions and disconnect the affected circuit when their specified detection criteria are met, helping reduce fire risks associated with certain electrical faults.
The consumer unit provides 11 outgoing circuit ways across 22 modular positions, allowing additional space for compatible AFDD-based protection devices. This arrangement is particularly useful where protective devices occupy more modular space than conventional single-module miniature circuit breakers.
A 63 A main switch isolator provides a central means of disconnecting the consumer unit supply. The assembly also incorporates two 63 A RCCBs, which establish separate residual current protection groups for outgoing circuits.
The variable split-load configuration enables circuit allocation between the two RCCB groups according to the approved busbar arrangement and installation design. Separating circuits across two RCCBs can reduce the number of circuits affected by an individual residual current trip, although circuits sharing the same RCCB may still be disconnected together.
The two RCCBs are rated at 63 A each. This rating describes their current-carrying capacity and should not be confused with residual current operating sensitivity. The actual residual current sensitivity and device type must be confirmed from the installed RCCB specifications.
AFDDs, RCCBs and miniature circuit breakers provide different protective functions. AFDDs detect specified arcing faults, RCCBs detect residual current imbalance, and MCBs provide overload and short-circuit protection. The complete protective functionality of each outgoing circuit depends on the devices selected and their approved installation arrangement.
The AF suffix identifies an AFDD-compatible consumer unit configuration; it does not mean that separate outgoing AFDD protective devices are included. Suitable ABB AFDDs and associated circuit protection devices should be selected separately according to the electrical design.
The 500 × 330 × 105 mm steel enclosure provides a practical housing for the distribution assembly. Its RAL 7035 finish, factory-fitted switching equipment, shrouded busbar and termination bars support professional installation. Final circuit design and installation must follow ABB instructions and applicable electrical installation regulations, including relevant BS 7671 requirements.
