Quite so - as this thread is probably an example of 'things to come'. And I do seriously doubt that there is a significant safety benefit in having AFDDs in a domestic (if any) installation.I quess it will be a nightmare faultfinding in the future, worse than locating rcd trips.
surely switching a socket off under load could cause an arc, or even just a kettle switching off.
It seems to me that we are probably doing it (and maybe eventually will be 'required' to do it) because it has become (technologically) possible (and, of course, beneficial to those who manufacture and sell the devices), not really because there is a significant 'need'!
Kind Regards, John
