Why Choose the ABB DS-ARC1 M B10 A30 Arc Fault Detection Device?
The ABB DS-ARC1 M B10 A30 is a compact arc fault detection device (AFDD) with integrated RCBO protection designed to provide comprehensive protection for single-phase final circuits. As part of the ABB DS-ARC1 M series, it combines arc fault detection, residual current protection, overload protection and short-circuit protection within a single three-module DIN rail device.
The DS-ARC1 M monitors electrical circuits for potentially dangerous arc faults while its integrated Type A RCBO provides protection against residual currents and overcurrents. LED indication assists with network troubleshooting, while dedicated test buttons allow the AFDD and residual current protection functions to be checked. Continuous internal self-testing further supports dependable operation.
With a rated current of 10 A, a B tripping characteristic, 30 mA Type A residual current sensitivity and a rated operational voltage of 230–240 V AC, the DS-ARC1 M B10 A30 provides enhanced protection for 1P+N circuits. The M version provides a 10 kA ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity, making it suitable for installations requiring a higher breaking capacity than the standard DS-ARC1 range.
