Arc protection

Arc flash protection is crucial for safeguarding low and medium voltage systems. Traditional overcurrent protection may not detect arc faults promptly due to lower fault currents or long delay times.

SYMAP®ARC uses ultra-fast light detection combined with a current criterion. With high-speed digital outputs, the system issues a trip signal in extremely short time.

The SYMAP®ARC is a protection system that detects arcs caused by short circuits in electrical systems and quickly resolves arc faults (<2 ms). Light sensors and optional current measurement are used to reliably detect arc faults.

We offer modular and retrofittable arc protection with effective solutions to protect people and switchgear in low and medium voltage electrical systems.

Benefits:

  • personnel safety
  • reduced equipment damage and downtime
  • lower incident energy
  • selective fault isolation
