Eaton EAFR-06-20 Arc Flash Relay - UL Recognized

Feature → The 20 m fiber loop sensor provides extended coverage around large switchgear and multi-section panels, increasing arc flash detection reliability. By sensing light changes along the loop rather than at a single point, it reduces blind spots and accelerates protective actions. This is especially valuable in control rooms and outdoor installations where space constraints make wired sensor placement challenging. Business Impact → Faster detection translates to quicker activation of protective actions and reduced risk of arc flash injuries. Application → Ideal for medium-to-large electrical rooms and retrofit projects where comprehensive sensing coverage is essential. Feature → Fiber loop sensor type with plastic construction offers a robust, cost-effective solution for harsh environments. Its non-conductive design minimizes electrical interference, while the fiber topology supports long runs without signal degradation. This translates to easier routing, fewer cavities, and lower installation time in new or retrofit projects. Business Impact → Lower total installed cost and improved long-term reliability. Application → Suitable for equipment rooms, packaging lines, and automotive manufacturing facilities. Feature → Sensitivity rated at 8000 Lux delivers dependable operation across variable ambient lighting and industrial lighting conditions. The higher sensitivity helps distinguish genuine arc flash events from ordinary illumination, reducing nuisance trips. This is particularly beneficial in manufacturing, packaging lines, and data center equipment rooms where bright lighting is common. Business Impact → Fewer false alarms, less operator fatigue, and safer process environments. Application → Applies across factory floors and controlled environments with fluctuating light levels. Feature → Certifications UL Recognized and cUL Recognized simplify procurement and compliance. These marks reassure specifiers that the device meets essential safety standards for North American installations. With these endorsements, you can streamline documentation for audits and project approvals. Business Impact → Accelerates procurement cycles and reduces compliance risk. Application → Widely used in OEM protection schemes and contractor-approved installations. Feature → Compact dimensions and lightweight form factor ease field installation and panel integration. The product’s dimensions (approximately 8.46 in length, 7.87 in width, 2.87 in height) and 0.25 lb weight help fit into crowded switchgear enclosures and minimize modification work. Its plastic fiber construction also supports safer handling during installation. Business Impact → Faster commissioning and less panel modification. Application → Ideal for retrofit projects and new builds in space-constrained electrical rooms. Feature → Compatibility with Eaton protection schemes and straightforward field installation reduce total cost of ownership. The fiber loop approach minimizes wiring and simplifies maintenance, while the known warranty provides support during the critical commissioning phase. For end users, this means faster ROI and longer system uptime in industrial environments. Business Impact → Lower maintenance costs and improved uptime. Application → Works seamlessly with Eaton arc flash protection architectures in manufacturing, data centers, and utility environments.
