FAQs
Installation involves placing the 45 m glass fiber loop within the switchgear enclosure to monitor for arc events. The unit’s compact dimensions (8.46 in L, 7.87 in W, 2.87 in H) support mounting in confined spaces. Ensure proper routing to minimize loop damage and protect the fiber from physical stress. Follow Eaton’s specification sheet for wiring and commissioning steps to guarantee accurate sensing and integration with protection relays.
Key specs include a 45 m fiber loop length, 8000 Lux sensitivity, and a glass fiber loop sensor. These figures translate to wide coverage and high sensitivity to light-based arc events, enabling rapid detection across lengthy installations. The UL/cUL recognition confirms suitability for global compliance, while the 0.25 lb unit adds minimal incremental load to panels.
Yes. The device is designed for arc flash detection along a fiber loop in electrical protection systems and is UL Recognized and cUL Recognized, which supports compliance in many industrial facilities. Its 45 m loop and 8000 Lux sensitivity provide reliable detection in challenging environments common to manufacturing and processing facilities.
The EAFR-07-45 carries UL Recognized and cUL Recognized certifications. These endorsements simplify procurement and installation across regions with strict electrical safety regulations, helping ensure product acceptance in North American and international sites. Relying on these certifications can streamline audits and reduce supplier-related compliance risk.
The sensor’s extended 45 m fiber loop and 8000 Lux sensing enable early arc detection, reducing downtime and safeguarding personnel. Coupled with a one-year warranty (or eighteen months from shipment) and UL/cUL recognition, deployment can lower maintenance costs and compliance overhead, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in multi-site electrical protection programs.
