ARCON Arc Fault Protection System | Circuit Protection | Eaton
Human errors of personnel working on the switchgear, condensation, lack of maintenance or even small rodents and insects can trigger an arc flash. Eaton offers a comprehensive range of
Improve safety with our extensive portfolio of arc flash mitigation solutions including arc quenching and arc-resistant switchgear, Power Xpert XGIS switchgear, Power Xpert Dashboard, Power Defense molded case circuit breaker, Insulgard, arc flash relays and more.
The arc quenching Magnum DS switchgear detects and extinguishes an arc flash in less than 4 ms to dramatically reduce incident energy. It reacts 10x faster than systems that rely solely on circuit breakers to clear an arc fault, including maintenance switches, ZSI, bus differential relaying and arc detection relays.
Changing the system operating configuration (switching to an alternate feeder or engaging maintenance mode settings) may reduce the arc flash hazard. Enables personnel to stand outside the arc-flash protection boundary when inserting or removing (racking) power breakers or MCC units from low- or medium-voltage equipment.
Improve safety and reduce arc-flash hazards, including dedicated wireway and safety barriers isolating personnel from line and load. Drastically reduce the available arc-fault current. Lower arc-flash energy in a system generally translates into improved personnel safety.
