Arc fault detection devices (AFDDs)

Each year over two million fires erupt all over Europe. More than one third of these due to faults in the electrical installation which prevailingly occur as a result of dangerous arc faults. S-ARC1 and DS-ARC1 provide maximum safety in all buildings, thus protecting people and valuable assets. By early detecting arc faults and disconnecting the affected circuit they offer reliable and complete protection in any type of building.


Highlights

  • Inherent fire hazards are reliably detected and prevented
  • Protection gap against arc faults is closed
  • Recommended in different applications acc. to IEC 603644-4-42
  • Quick and simple installation using standard System pro M compact® busbars and accessories
  • Family feeling in the System pro M compact® range
  • Safety thanks to a continuously running internal self test in order to check the arc detection circuit and a test push-button to verify the correct functioning of the arc fault detection device

S-ARC1 and S-ARC1 M are 1P+N arc fault detection devices with integrated MCB in 6kA and 10kA breaking capacity respectively, with rated current up to 20 A. In only two modules width, they provide protection against arc faults and overcurrents.

DS-ARC1 and DS-ARC1 M are 1P+N arc fault detection devices with integrated RCBO in 6kA and 10kA breaking capacity respectively, with  rated current up to 20 A and sensitivity 30mA. In only three modules width, they provide protection against arc faults, overcurrents and earth fault currents.
