Rapid arc flash detection and protection offer very fast and reliable interruption of an arc fault by tripping the upstream supply of energy to the faulted compartment.
With a well-designed rapid arc flash system in place, an arc fault event can be interrupted in as little as 40-50ms compared to a full second without.

Benefits:

• Protects the switchgear.
• Enhanced operator protection and safety.
• Scalable, further arc sensors can be added in stages.
• Minimises the amount of energy released.
