Contactum is delivering a new benchmark in electrical safety for commercial, industrial and public buildings. As electrical systems grow more complex, the demand for smarter, more resilient protection continues to rise. Contactum’s AFDD/RCBO range meets this need by combining Arc Fault Detection with Type A residual current, overcurrent and short circuit protection, in one compact device. Rated at 10kA and available in B and C curve, the range integrates easily into Contactum’s three-phase distribution boards, providing flexible protection across commercial, industrial
and public-sector installations. By detecting arc faults alongside overloads, short circuits and earth leakage, it helps guard against the most common causes of electrical fires and system failure. With double-pole switching, positive contact indication, integrated overvoltage protection and a heat-resistant, flameretardant housing, Contactum’s AFDD/RCBOs deliver dependable, standards-compliant performance where safety matters most.
