11 (39 BUTTON DESCRIPTION AP901 contains one single push-button (SET) that can be used for all operational functions of the unit. The push-button is utilized for auto-configuration of the system (see chapter 3.3.1) and for resetting the indicators and latched output relays. -
Page 12: Dipswitch Settings
12 (39 IPSWITCH SETTINGS AP901 functionality such as tripping logic is configured using dipswitch settings. Different trip schemes can be easily programmed by selecting the appropriate dipswitch positions. This gives users the flexibility to change settings dependent on application. Tripping may be selected based on arc light only or arc light and current thresholds (or other tripping criteria such as undervoltage, or similar). - Page 13 Scheme selection Refer to chapter 3.5.1 and Refer to chapter 3.5.1 and 6 Scheme select Table 3-2 AP901 dipswitch setting selection The chapter 3.5.1 shows AP901 internal logic and dipswitch selections.

Logic scheme 0 The AP901 logic scheme 0 can be not only applied as stand-alone arc protection unit, but also widely used as non-selective outgoing feeder compartment protection. Depend on this scheme, user can select either light only mode or arc light + overcurrent mode to trip all circuit breakers. - Page 15 Logic scheme 1 The AP901 logic scheme I is mainly utilized in selective arc protection solution. The fiber sensor S1 monitors the outgoing feeder cable compartment. The fiber sensor S2 monitors the corresponding feeder breaker compartment and busbar compartment. Trip contact T1 is responsible for tripping circuit breaker of the outgoing feeder.

If one or more of the sensors are disconnected the healthy sensors remain in use and unit remains operational accordingly. The AP901 will remain in error mode until the disconnected sensors are repaired. -
Page 19: Application Examples
ICE representative for a solution to your particular application. APPLICATION WITH CURRENT AND LIGHT CONDITION AP901 may be applied requiring both overcurrent and arc light conditions for trip. In this case tripping is performed only if both conditions are fulfilled simultaneously. Typically the overcurrent condition is obtained from the AP910 unit and the trip relay will be activated in 7ms. - Page 20 Instruction manual – AP901 Arc Protection Unit 20 (39 LV or MV application by AP901. Figure 6-1: This LV or MV application example has light and current tripping criteria for sensor channels S2, S3 and S4.

Synchronous Generator (PMSG) is applied with a converter cabinet and LV/MV transformer. The AP901 is equipped with four point sensor channels and each channel may have up to three sensors (type AS01) connected in series allowing for up to 12 point sensors. Additionally one fiber optic loop sensor channel is available as an option. - Page 22 Instruction manual – AP901 Arc Protection Unit 22 (39 Figure 6-2: Typical wind-power application by AP901.

Breaker failure function is activated if AP901 detects the presence of light after a set operate time. When AP901 is set to operate on light and current both parameters must persist to activate CBFP. Breaker failure can be set to operate either on 100ms or 150ms delay (see chapter 3.5). -
