Arcex®
Arc Fault Protection for Low and Medium Voltage Systems
Arcex is a protective device used to maximize the personnel safety and minimize the material damage of the installation during an arc flash event, the most hazardous power system fault situation. The arc protection system detects an arc in an installation and measures the fault current.
During an arc flash event, the arc protection relay of the Arcex immediately trips the concerned circuit breaker(s) to isolate the fault. An arc protection system operates much faster than conventional protection relays and thus damage caused by an arc short circuit can be minimized.
