FAQs
Installation should prioritize clean, unobstructed fiber loop routing to maximize sensing fidelity. Use the 10 m fiber length to cover the intended panel area and ensure proper mounting away from heat sources. Verify 50/60 Hz compatibility and supply within 80-265 Vac/dc. Commission the unit per UL/cUL guidelines and confirm the unit is within its environmental operating range.
The 10 m fiber loop detects arc flash radiation via the plastic fiber sensor and triggers the protective relay when Lux thresholds are exceeded or abnormal light signatures occur. This fast response minimizes arcing damage by enabling prompt isolation, reducing equipment downtime and safeguarding personnel in live switchgear environments.
Yes, the EAFR-06-10 is designed for 50/60 Hz operation and supports a broad input range of 80-265 Vac/dc. This versatility accommodates a wide variety of industrial power systems, simplifying procurement and reducing the need for voltage converters during rollouts across multiple facilities.
The unit is UL Recognized and cUL Recognized, reinforcing compliance with North American electrical safety standards. These certifications streamline procurement, supplier audits, and safety program documentation, helping facilities meet NFPA 70E requirements and supporting international project approvals.
Maintenance benefits include reduced nuisance trips, fewer unnecessary panel openings, and longer equipment life due to rapid arc detection. The ROI comes from minimized downtime, safer work environments, and faster regulatory approvals, while the 1-year warranty and robust build provide long-term cost containment in critical power systems.
