The 35 m plastic fiber loop sensor provides wide coverage for large switchgear and motor control centers, enabling early arc detection and a quicker protective response. This reduces arc energy exposure and protects critical assets, improving operator safety and plant uptime during high-energy faults. The 8000 Lux light sensitivity ensures reliable sensing even in variable ambient lighting conditions, which minimizes false trips and unnecessary downtime in factory environments. UL Recognized and cUL Recognized certifications support strict regulatory compliance and simplify procurement for North American projects, helping you meet safety requirements without redesign. The compact, lightweight form factor facilitates easier installation in crowded panels, while the fiber optic loop offers EMI resistance and robust performance in electrically noisy environments. The included specifications and warranty terms from Eaton reinforce long-term reliability, leading to lower total cost of ownership and predictable maintenance planning. Compatibility with standard Eaton protection schemes and straightforward integration with existing wiring reduces engineering effort and accelerates project timelines. Industry-specific insights show fiber loop sensors like this one are increasingly adopted in process industries and data centers to achieve safer, compliant arc flash protection with measurable ROI.
