The Schneider Electric A9TYB4640 is an Acti9 VigiARC iC40 arc fault detection device (AFDD) combined with residual current protection — a single 1P+N module rated 40 A at 230 V AC, 50 Hz. The 30 mA earth-leakage sensitivity is Type A-SI (Super Immunised), meaning it handles high-frequency inverter leakage and pulsed DC without nuisance tripping, and the voltage-independent residual current tripping means it clears a ground fault even if the line voltage has collapsed. The arc fault detection meets EN/IEC 62606, so it distinguishes series and parallel arcs from normal load switching — catches the smoldering fault a standard MCB/RCD misses.
Tunnel terminals accept 1–16 mm² rigid or 1–10 mm² flexible; strip to 14 mm, torque to 2 N·m. The IP20 finger-safe enclosure is fine for a dry indoor distribution board — not for washdown.
