Description
The AQ-101S arc point sensor device is a sophisticated microprocessor-based arc flash protection unit for arc light detection. It is designed to minimize the damage caused by an arcing fault (arc flash) by tripping the circuit breaker that sources the fault current. The complete system self-supervision function of the AQ-101S arc point sensor device provides the highest level of dependability by continuously monitoring all internal system functions as well as external connections.
Highlights:
- A wide range for the power supply (18…72 V DC or 92…265 V AC/DC).
- Max. 12 arc light point sensors (3 point sensors per channel) per device.
- 3 trip relays (with 7 ms total trip time).
- Complete system self-supervision.
- 6 binary inputs and 3 binary output.
- A multifunction push button (“SET”) with auto-configuration, indication reset, and system check.
- 17 indication LEDs.
