Arc Fault Protection with DEHN
Constantly changing demands on the market, diverse tenders – how can arc fault protection be best integrated in the design of your switchgear assembly? We are at your side for the
Eaton has been manufacturing arc-resistant metal-clad switchgear since 1990. Eaton was the first major North American manufacturer to design, test, and manufacture arc-resistant switchgear in accordance with EEMAC G14.1.
Eaton was the first major North American manufacturer to design, test, and manufacture arc-resistant switchgear in accordance with EEMAC G14.1. We now offer Type 2 and 2B arc-resistant switchgear assemblies, designed and tested in accordance with the IEEE C37.20.7, with Type VCP-W drawout vacuum circuit breakers.
Generally, this type of switchgear will come with flaps that open under the intense pressure of arcing energy. The flaps allow the heated gases of an arc flash and the pressure to safely vent out of the enclosure and away from the operator. When venting arc flash gases outside of the switchgear room is necessary, extra duct work is used.
Arc faults endanger your staff and threaten the permanent electrical power supply. A fault in the switchgear assembly can soon be an expensive business. So, it is ideal if arc faults are detected and automatically quenched as soon as they arise. Staff enjoy optimum protection and the system is back in operation in the shortest possible time.
