Arc-Flash Monitoring
AF0100 SERIES
Arc-Flash Relay
Description
The AF0100 Series arc-flash relay is a cost-effective solution that
reduces arc-fault damage by detecting the light from an arc flash
and rapidly tripping. Two remote light sensors can be connected
to one relay and multiple AF0100 and/or AF0500 relays can be
connected to monitor additional sensors, providing complete
coverage for a wide range of applications. The compact, DIN-rail
or surface-mountable body makes this an ideal solution for
equipment manufacturers.
Two isolated Form-C contacts are provided for applications with
multiple devices that must be tripped. This is especially useful
for generator applications where the generator and breaker need
to be tripped in case of an arc flash.
The AF0100 accepts PGA-LS10 point sensors and PGA-LS20/
PGA-LS30 fiber-optic sensors in any combination. Sensor
health is continuously monitored to ensure fail-safe operation.
A solid-state redundant trip circuit provides an internal fail-safe
mechanism and fast arc-flash response during power up.
