  • Page 3: Introduction

    ARCON 3G presents effective modular and compact system for arc protection in low voltage switchgear assemblies, which successfully provides both, personnel and assembly protection. ARCON 3G detects an electrical arc caused by a short circuit through optical sensors and the load current input on the system to employ the fast clearance of arc faults on an electrical system with a total arc mitigation time less than 2 ms.
