The unit uses a light point sensor with 50,000 Lux sensitivity to deliver rapid arc fault detection, which directly reduces exposure time and enables quicker automatic shutdown, improving overall arc flash protection in switchgear. In practice this translates to safer work conditions and lower incident energy, particularly in crowded panels or dirty environments where glare and dust could mask faults. The compact 1 in depth, 1.25 in width, and 3.5 in height form factor (0.25 lb) makes retrofits and upgrades feasible in crowded control rooms, minimizing downtime during installation and reducing the space impact on existing panels. With 50/60 Hz operation and a broad 80-265 Vac/DC rating, the EAFR-01-C easily integrates with common control circuits without extensive rewiring, accelerating project timelines and lowering total installed cost. UL and cUL recognition support regulatory and safety compliance, while Eaton’s warranty policy adds post-installation assurance for service life and maintenance planning. The device supports easy procurement within Eaton protection ecosystems and complements other arc flash solutions, delivering a cohesive approach to panel protection and workforce safety. In practice, contractors and engineers gain a dependable, field-proven sensor that reduces risk, improves downtime metrics, and simplifies ongoing compliance documentation.

FAQs
The EAFR-01-C is compact (1 in deep, 1.25 in wide, 3.5 in high) and weighs 0.25 lb, facilitating retrofit in crowded panels. It operates on 50/60 Hz with a voltage range of 80-265 Vac/dc, allowing straightforward wiring into standard control circuits. Ensure adequate panel clearance and follow manufacturer wiring diagrams for safe integration with existing arc flash protection schemes.
Key specs include 50,000 Lux light sensitivity, 50/60 Hz operation, and an input range of 80-265 Vac/dc. These values support rapid detection in typical switchgear environments. Confirm compatibility with your control circuitry, panel layout, and voltage availability, and ensure UL/cUL recognition aligns with your facility’s safety requirements.
Yes. The high sensitivity light-based sensing enables fast detection of arc events in manufacturing switchgear, reducing exposure time and enabling prompt shutdown. Its compact footprint simplifies retrofits in dense panels, while the 50/60 Hz and wide voltage range support integration with varied line and control circuits commonly found on shop floors and process lines.
The EAFR-01-C carries UL Recognized and cUL Recognized certifications, indicating compliance with essential electrical safety standards. This helps meet NEC, UL, and local regulatory requirements for arc flash protection devices, and supports documentation and audit readiness during safety reviews and inspections.
The device ships with a standard one-year warranty from installation (or 18 months from shipment), reducing post-installation risk and replacement costs. Its solid-state light sensing has no moving parts, minimizing maintenance. By lowering arc-related downtime and simplifying compliance reporting, facilities can achieve meaningful reductions in incident-related downtime and insurance exposure over the equipment lifecycle.
