Arc fault detection installation: questions and answers

Does an arc-fault device replace ordinary circuit protection?

Its role must be considered within the complete protective arrangement. The electrician checks compatibility, circuit requirements and the devices needed for the installation.

Does an arc fault device replace the need to repair damaged wiring?

No. Existing defects still need correction. Any additional protective device must form part of a suitable circuit design.

What affects the quotation for arc fault detection installation?

Board condition, circuit testing, suitable replacement devices and any related remedial work affect the price. A quotation should confirm the agreed investigation, repair and testing before work is arranged.
