When an electrical arc occurs in switchgears it can cause thermal damage to equipment and injury to personnel. The damages are directly proportional to the arc burning time. Arc monitor ZELK-3 rapidly recognizes electrical arc and disconnects the circuit breaker in order to disconnect feeding of the arc. By using maximum 18 optical sensor for arc detection and two static output arc monitor performs nonselective or section selective switchgear protection instantaneously in less than 1ms, which is negligible in comparison with disconnection time of circuit breaker. That feature enables early arc recognition, and greatly decreases possible damages.
Arc protection system gives high contribution in protection of personnel and equipment with low price and simple application. Because of that a lot of European producers of medium and low voltage switchgears with air insulation apply devices for arc protection.
