Eaton EAFR-101C Arc Flash Relay Point Sensor - UL/cUL Recognized
Part Number: EAFR-101C
Quick Summary
Eaton arc flash relay point sensor is designed to monitor critical wiring and trigger protective actions in industrial electrical panels. For engineers wrestling with complex protection schemes, this device simplifies wiring, reduces fault response times, and scales across larger switchgear. UL Recognized and cUL Recognized certifications validate safe integration, while 50/60 Hz operation and a wide 80-265 Vac/dc voltage range cover diverse plant environments. With 12 point sensor inputs and four trip relays, it supports future expansion and lowers total cost of ownership by consolidating sensing and protection in a single unit. This practical integration supports safer, faster handoffs between engineering teams and maintenance staff.

12 point sensor inputs → expands monitoring footprint across panels, reducing wiring complexity and enabling early fault detection. By aggregating sensing at a single point sensor unit, maintenance loops are simplified and commissioning is faster. This translates to higher line availability in manufacturing lines and data centers, reducing unplanned downtime and improving changeover times during upgrades or expansions. 4 trip relays → provide independent protection paths that can be programmed for staged responses or selective isolation. The business impact is faster fault clearance, minimized damage to equipment, and safer personnel protection in outages. In practice, technicians can configure protective schemes for MCCs, switchgear, and critical loads without adding extra devices. 80-265 Vac/dc, 50/60 Hz → ensures compatibility with diverse electrical environments and simplifies retrofits. This reduces procurement risk and inventory carrying costs, as a single device can serve mixed-voltage panels. Applications include mixed-control panels in machine halls and facilities with legacy gear needing arc flash protection. UL Recognized / cUL Recognized → support regulatory compliance and easier integration into North American safety programs. The certification context helps facility managers pass audits and avoids rework in protective signaling. It also signals robust manufacturing quality and ongoing product support from Eaton for critical protection applications. Compact footprint (6.89 in L × 2.87 in H × 1.85 in W) and 1 lb weight → streamline panel mounting and reduce space pressure in dense cabinets. This enables easier retrofits to older panels with minimal modification. Combined with Eaton’s warranty and service policy, the solution delivers predictable long-term support and ROI.

FAQs
How do I install the EAFR-101C in an existing electrical panel? Start by mounting the unit as a point sensor device, connect up to 12 sensor inputs across the panel, and wire the four trip relays to your protection scheme. Power the unit with 80-265 Vac/dc and ensure control wiring meets local codes. Refer to Eaton’s specification sheet for wiring diagrams and clearance requirements. The compact 6.89 in L × 2.87 in H × 1.85 in W footprint simplifies retrofits into crowded cabinets and works with standard switchgear configurations.
Key specifications include a voltage rating of 80-265 Vac/dc and 50/60 Hz operation, 12 point sensor inputs, and 4 trip relays. The device is UL Recognized and cUL Recognized, ensuring compliance with North American safety standards. Dimensions are 6.89 in length, 2.87 in height, 1.85 in width, and the unit weighs about 1 lb. Verify these against your panel design and documentation before retrofit.
Yes. The EAFR-101C is designed for panel protection with multiple inputs and relays that support fault signaling and rapid isolation. It is suitable for switchgear, motor control centers, and critical-load panels common in manufacturing environments and data centers. Its broad voltage range and 50/60 Hz compatibility make it versatile for mixed-voltage installations, contributing to safer, more reliable operations.
The unit carries UL Recognized and cUL Recognized credentials, which validate safety and performance for compliance-driven environments. These certifications simplify audits, reduce the risk of rework, and enable smoother integration into North American protection schemes. For procurement and maintenance teams, certification signals reliable sourcing and ongoing support from Eaton for critical protection applications.
Consolidating sensing and protection into a single unit reduces wiring complexity, simplifies commissioning, and lowers total cost of ownership. The 12 input sensor capability and 4 trip relays enable scalable protection without adding devices, which can shorten downtime during outages and upgrades. With Eaton’s warranty terms (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment) and ongoing support, maintenance planning becomes more predictable and ROI improves over the device’s lifespan.
