High-speed tripping during arc-flash events is one of the arc fault detector outstanding features. The other features include:
2. Highly quality, Reliability, safety, and efficiency
3. Available in numerous types of arc fault protection
4. Quickly active circuit breaker failure protection
5. Coordinated Protection via Modbus TCP/DNP3 LAN/WAN/Telnet/FTP/IEC 61850
6. Self-monitoring all internal systems
7. Flexible Installation in new switchgear/MCC
8. Simply connecting & programming arc flash relay
9. Indication LEDs: Power available LED, Device operates normally LED, Maintenance service LED, alarm action LED, DO trips LED, Communication status LED, etc.
Application of Blue Jay Arc Protection Relays
These features make arc fault protection relay a standard choice for applications such as MV and LV switchgear cubicles, smart Motor Controls and generator control panels, Battery Energy Storage Systems(battery DC cabinet/container/power conversions system PCS), capacitor load banks, etc.
In these applications, arc flash protection is crucial for single or multiple arc flash protection zones, including breaker compartments, main bus bar sections, upper and lower cable exit sections, and more.
For smaller applications with one or two arc flash protection zones, our AFR-3S is an excellent choice.
For switchgear with multiple arc flash monitoring zones, our AFR-4 is ideal.
And for both simple and complex switchgear with over 12 arc flash zones, our AFR-M offers an ideal solution.
