Eaton Arc Flash Relay

The Eaton Arc Flash Relay (EAFR) system is a combination    of arc flash relay modules and sensors designed to detect and clear arc flash events in low and medium voltage elec- trical assemblies.

An arc fault is the most devastating type of fault in medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) switchgear. If an arc fault occurs, the EAFR system reduces arc energy by quickly clearing the current feeding the arc.

The EAFR system can measure both light and current to eliminate nuisance operation. In addition, it’s modular design makes it an excellent candidate for both new and retrofit installations.
