  • Product Details
  • Company Profile

AFR-4 arc flash detection relay is a versatile and independently operating device for bay-based protection. It supports 4-channel arc signal detection and can configure multiple arc tripping modes, ensuring accurate and fast fault isolation. With a fast relay output speed up to 5ms, AFR-4 can minimize or eliminate arc flash damage, improving system safety and reliability. It can be used in various arc protection applications in low or medium-voltage power distribution systems.

AFR-4 also provides flash warning and dual criteria tripping mechanism (arc detection + current), providing a comprehensive solution for arc flash protection. Integrated RS485/Modbus communication enables seamless remote monitoring and control, which is ideal for modern power systems.


Features of the AFR-4 arc flash relay

  1. ≤5ms fast relay tripping;

  2. Regional arc light detection;

  3. Multiple combined tripping modes;

  4. Circuit breaker failure protection;

  5. 4 channels of arc light signals detection;

  6. Dual criteria for arc detection and overcurrent detection;

  7. Integrated /RS485 MODBUS communication protocol;

  8. Support ST visible light and ST ultraviolet sensor access.
