AFR-3S Arc Flash Relay

Features

Arc Flash Detection
The AFR-3S is our new advanced arc flash relay, which adopts a dual criteria (current and arc sensing) for arc flash detection. Only the arc flash hanppen and the current overload the presetting values, it will alarm for arc flash. It offers not only arc flash protection, but also circuit breaker failure protection.

arc flash binary inputs sensor inputs relay outputs

Mulit-channel Input and Output Options
The AFR-3S supports up to 6 binary inputs for Circuit breaker, Device maintenance, optional smoke sensor, Reserved function, and Common terminal. Moreover, there are 3 arc sensor inputs so it can collect 3 channels of arc light signals similusiously. other optional sensor inputs include temperature sensor inputs and partial discharge sensor inputs. As for AFR-3SR arc flash relay output, it has 4 or 6 relay outputs for arc action, alarm, circuit breaker trip, etc.

Data Logging for arc flash diagnostics
It can complete exception records, event records, and operation records to help you find the arc flash location quickly and diagnostic your system comprehensively.

arc flash data logging with arc flash relay

Compact size & quick arc-flash trip time
The AFR-3S arc fash relay is small,exquisite and structural reasonable so it is suitable for a broad range of arc-flash applications, easpcially small space electrical cabinets. With high-grade, high-quality components,As for arc flash-trip time, it can do arc trip within 10ms while the arc fault hanppens.

In addition, the AFR-3S arc flash relay is equipped with RS485 communication interface and integrated MODBUS standard communication protocol. By using high-grade and high-quality components, and multi-layer board technology and SMT process, it has high electrical performance and supprot ST visible light and ST ultraviolet sensor access.
