Figure. 5.4.23. - 110. An IED equipped with arc protection card has 4 sensor channels. Up to three sensors can be connected to
each channel.
Arc protection card has four sensor channels. Up to three arc point sensors may be connected to each
channel. Sensor channels support Arcteq AQ-01 (light sensing) and AQ-02 (pressure and light
sensing) units. Optionally protection function can be applied with phase or residual current condition.
This means the function will trip only if light and over current conditions are met.
Outputs of the function are Light In, Pressure In, Arc binary input signal status, Zone trip, Zone blocked
and sensor fault signals. Setting parameters are static inputs for the function which are changed only
by user input in the setup phase of the function. Arc protection utilizes total of eight separate setting
groups which can be selected from one common source.
