KCM Classic AFDD now available in UK

The KCM Classic AFDD – fully compatible with Memshield 2, AD, AM, MEMera 2000 and TP, and other classic installations – has landed in the UK and is now available through all major electrical wholesalers nationwide.

For electrical contractors, maintenance engineers and specifiers alike, the new KCM Classic offers a simple, reliable and future-proof way to bring existing installations in line with the latest safety standards, without the need for expensive or time-consuming rewiring.

The next step in safety and compliance

Arc fault detection devices (AFDDs) are becoming increasingly important in modern circuit protection. Designed to detect dangerous electrical arcs that traditional protective devices might miss, AFDDs provide an essential layer of defence against electrical fires.

Until now, the challenge for many professionals has been integrating this next-generation protection into legacy MEM systems, which are still widely used across commercial and industrial sites. The KCM Classic solves that problem seamlessly.

Engineered for compatibility, it’s designed to fit directly into existing Memshield 2, AD, AM, MEMera 2000 and TP boards, allowing contractors to upgrade safety without replacing entire distribution assemblies. That means faster installations, less downtime and significant cost savings for clients.

Built for the installer with longevity in mind

With a design rooted in the robust build quality MEM is known for, the KCM Classic combines reliability with ease of use. Standard sizing, straightforward wiring and familiar terminal layouts ensure the switch from standard MCBs or RCBOs to AFDDs is smooth and intuitive.

The KCM Classic also features LED fault indicators for quick visual diagnosis and a 10kA short-circuit rating, ensuring durability and performance even in demanding commercial and industrial environments.

Each device incorporates arc fault, overcurrent, earth leakage and short-circuit protection, giving complete confidence that the installation meets the highest standards of electrical safety. For those managing older sites or refurbishments, it’s a rare opportunity to bring legacy systems in line with the latest IET Wiring Regulations without a full board replacement.
