FAQs
Yes. The EAFR-06-30 uses a plastic fiber loop sensor designed for flexible routing within standard panel enclosures. Its compact dimensions minimize enclosure modification, and the 30 m fiber loop length accommodates long runs along switchgear, reducing the need for extensive rework while preserving protection performance.
The sensor detects arc flash events via a plastic fiber loop with a 30 m sensing path, using 8000 Lux light sensitivity to identify rapid light signatures even in bright environments. This improves detection reliability during high-ambient-light conditions and enhances protection timing, helping to fast-track isolation before damage escalates.
The EAFR-06-30 is designed for indoor electrical protection schemes in panels and switchgear. Its plastic fiber loop and compact form factor suit crowded, indoor industrial environments where wiring space is limited. For outdoor use, ensure enclosure protection and confirm ambient conditions align with application guidelines provided in the Eaton datasheet.
The device is UL Recognized and cUL Recognized, meaning it meets widely accepted electrical safety and performance standards across North America. This simplifies cross-border procurement, reduces qualification time for regulatory compliance, and supports audits and safety programs in manufacturing, energy, and process industries.
By enabling rapid arc detection over a 30 m loop, the EAFR-06-30 reduces arc damage exposure and potential downtime. Its lightweight, compact design lowers installation labor, while UL/cUL certification streamlines approval processes. Overall, users can expect improved protection reliability, lower incident-related costs, and simpler ongoing maintenance in automated electrical systems.
