REV. 0-A-081523 2 SENSOR PLACEMENT 2.3 Transformer Protection The AF0025 can also be used for the protection of transformers. 2.1 General Guidelines Two sensors should be used per transformer to monitor the Optical sensors should have line-of-sight to points being primary and secondary connection terminals.
Page 5 AF0025 Arc-Flash Relay REV. 0-A-081523 3 OPTICAL SENSORS The AF0025 has two inputs for optical arc-fault sensors. One sensor type is currently supported: • PGA-LS10-01B Photoelectric Point Sensors with sensor check, 1 m (3.3 ft) cable length Point sensors have LED indication of sensor health and fault location.
3 kA or more. maximum of 50 m (164 ft). For more information on sensor A built-in LED enables the AF0025 to verify the function of cabling, see Section 5.3.2. the light sensor, wiring, and electronics. If the sensor does not detect the sensor-check LED, a sensor-fail alarm will FIGURE 3.

REV. 0-A-081523 APPENDIX B REDUNDANT TRIP CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The AF0025 includes a redundant trip circuit which is active any time the CPU is not actively monitoring. Two conditions in which the CPU is not actively monitoring are during initialization (approximately 500ms following application of power) and in the extremely rare event that an internal CPU failure is detected.
