[QUOTE="Tony S, post: 449317, member: 20864"] Sharpie I’m retired and it was a tongue in cheek comment, in reality it will have an adverse effect on all of the UK domestic electrical trade. You may or may not know the term “greasy chin” (the manufacturers wine and dine the relevant people). There’s been a lot of greasy chins to get AFDD’s on to the NEC and IET gravy trains. Something I need to find out about is why AFCI’s only apply to 120V circuits, 240V circuits are exempt. In you’re bedroom you can have a vibrating heated waterbed on 240V protected by a GFCI (RCD) but the 120V lamp on the bedside table has to have GFCI and AFCI protection. [/QUOTE]
