Why Choose the ABB DS-ARC1 M B6 A30 Arc Fault Detection Device?
The ABB DS-ARC1 M B6 A30 is a compact arc fault detection device (AFDD) with integrated RCBO protection designed to provide comprehensive protection for single-phase electrical 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 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. Dedicated AFDD and residual current test functions, together with internal self-testing and fault indication, support dependable operation and straightforward troubleshooting in modern electrical installations.
With a rated current of 6 A, a B tripping characteristic and 30 mA Type A residual current sensitivity, the DS-ARC1 M B6 A30 is designed for 1P+N single-phase circuits. The DS-ARC1 M range provides a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, making this model suitable for lower-current circuits requiring enhanced arc fault, residual current and overcurrent protection.
