Enhanced with optional hardware and soft-
ware, the IED also features three light detec-
tion channels for arc fault protection of the
circuit breaker, busbar and cable compart-
ment of metal-enclosed indoor switchgear.
The arc-fault protection sensor interface is
available on the optional communication
module. Fast tripping increases personal
safety and limits material damage within the
switchgear in an arc fault situation.
