Figure 270: Arc protection with several IEDs
Arc protection with several IEDs and a separate arc protection system
When realizing an arc protection with both IEDs and a separate arc protection
system, the cable terminations of the outgoing feeders are protected by IEDs using
one lens sensor for each IED. The busbar and the incoming feeder are protected by
the sensor loop of the separate arc protection system. With arc detection at the
cable terminations, an IED trips the circuit breaker of the outgoing feeder.
However, when detecting an arc on the busbar, the separate arc protection system
trips the circuit breaker of the incoming feeder and generates an external trip signal
to all IEDs protecting the outgoing feeders, which in turn results in tripping of all
circuit breakers of the outgoing feeders.
