AFR-4 arc flash detection relay is a versatile and independently operating device for bay based protection. It supports 4-channels arc signal detection and can configuration multiple arc tripping modes, ensuring accurate and fast fault isolation. With a fast relay output speed up to 3ms, AFR-4 can minimize or completely eliminate arc flash damage, improving system safety and reliability. It can be used in various arc protection applications in low or medium voltage power distribution system.
AFR-4 also provides flash warning and dual criteria tripping mechanism (arc detection + current), providing a comprehensive solution for arc flash protection. Integrated RS485/Modbus communication enables seamless remote monitoring and control, which is ideal for modern power systems.
