    Figure 1.1-1. Arc protection unit VAMP 121 1.2. Unit features VAMP 121 is a state of the art arc protection unit for electrical power distribution systems. By using VAMP 121 in switchgears considerable safety improvements are obtained in the form of minimized injury and damage in case of an arc fault.
  • Page 5: Unit Configuration

    System Fault alarm is activated. The same function is attained by activating the binary input on connector X2-7, X2-8 (see also inputs). When the blocking function is activated, the error led is lit and the SF-relay activated. VM121.EN011 VAMP 24h support phone : +358 (0)20 753 3264...

  • Page 11: Switchgear Application

    User manual Switchgear application Every compartment is equipped with an arc sensor. Up to ten sensors can be connected to the VAMP 121 unit. The trip relay is electromechanical and can be connected directly to control the circuit-breaker (see specifications).
  • Page 12: Connections

    Figure 7-1. VAMP 121 system components 7.1. Outputs The VAMP 121 unit has an integrated relay output (X2-15,X2- 16) for tripping of the circuit-breaker. Furthermore, one binary output is available (+24V dc) X2-9 (-) X2-10(+), which becomes inactive (0V) on internal fault (SF) and / or on tripping (configurable).
