Arc Guard

Available for AC and DC power
Photodiodes for sensing light
The two output stages are triacs triggered via a pulse transformer
Two separate relay outputs
A switch is included for selection of automatic relay resetting
A digital display, visible through the window in the door, is lighted when the triac outputs are activated and shows which detector has caused tripping
Terminals are provided for connection of the arc monitor's own power supply and for connections to the circuit-breaker trip coil
The power consumption of the unit is approximately 6 watts

 

Has terminals for a number of different supply voltages
Connects to current transformers located at suitable positions in the busbar system of the installation to be monitored
Incorporates a selector switch and potenti-ometer for testing and checking purposes
Power consumption approximately 11 W
Optical signal transmission
Can be connected in series using optical cables
LEDs indicate when the current exceeds approximately 70% and 100% of the set value
The unit can be either 1, 2 or 3-phase connected (to one, two or three current transformers)
Imposes insignificant load on the current transformers, approximately. 0.7 VA, so current transformers that are also applied for other purposes can often be used
