No. Even if it protects against electrical arcs between phase and earth, an arc fault detection device can not provide the same protection as a residual current device.

However you can use all in one iCV40H RCBO which serves as:

• Fire protection/safety (built-in arc fault detection device, AFDD)
• Earth leakage protection (built-in RCBO)
• Overload protection & Short-circuit protection (built-in miniature circuit breaker)
• Overvoltage protection (built-in MSU)
