Key Features
- ARCON® is suitable for low voltage switchgear up to 690 V AC/50 Hz.
-
Arc fault attenuation time in an assembly (tmtA) according to IEC/TS 63107:2020, subclause 10.101.4 ≤ 2 ms (typically 1.5 ms)
-
At the lowest threshold setting, ARCON® protects against arcing at a trip level of Iarc = 7.5 kA / Ue = 230 V AC in accordance with IEC/TS 63107:2020, subclause 10.101.2.
-
The nuisance tripping criterion has been verified according to IEC/TS 63107:2020, subclause 10.101.3 – verification by test that unintentional tripping will not occur up to Icc = 105 kA / Ue = 415 V AC, respectively, Icc = 75 kA / Ue = 690 V AC
- Rated short-time withstand current Icw of the quenching device (at an operating voltage of 415 V AC):
- 85 kA/1 s
- 105 kA/500 ms
- 150 kA/200 ms
- Built-in self-monitoring of the entire system to prevent unplanned downtime
- The xEnergy low-voltage switchgear with integrated ARCON® complies with criteria 1-7 of IEC/TR 61641:2014 Ed.3 for the protection of personnel and equipment.
- Complete protection for personnel, even when doors are open, for example during maintenance
- The Arc Quenching Device (ARC-AT) has been tested and verified in accordance with IEC 60947-9-1:2019 (the latest standard for active arc fault protection systems - Arc Quenching Devices)
