SYMAP®ARC is a protection system that detects an electric arc caused by a short circuit through an optical sensor and the load current input on the system to ensure the fast clearance of arc faults on an electrical system with short tripping time (< 2ms).
Arc protection system for low and medium voltage applications
modular, expandable system with easy DIN rail installation
stainless steel housing for high EMC safety
simple system: tripping only with light criteria
complex system: arc detection and tripping, current rate of change detection (di/dt), zone and cable compartment selectivity
protects human life
reduces damage impact
improves availability of vessels or plants
