GWPR220-AF Feeder Arc Flash Protection Relay
Product Desc
- The GWPR220-AF Feeder Arc Flash Protection Relay is a professional millisecond-level Internal Arc-fault Control Device (IACD) compliant with IEC and GB standards including IEC 60947-9-2, IEC 62271-200 and GB/T 14598.302. It is specially developed for arc fault protection in switchgear feeder compartments and cable chambers, suitable for 0.4kV~33kV distribution system feeder circuits.
- The GWPR220-AF Feeder Arc Flash Relay adopts passive optical arc sensing and feeder CT secondary analog signal acquisition, achieving precise and selective fault isolation. It delivers a minimum 4ms tripping response, rapidly isolating faulty feeders before arc faults produce high temperature, shock waves and molten metal. This effectively protects switchgear and personnel, and ensures uninterrupted power supply for busbars and healthy feeders.
- The GWPR220-AF Feeder Arc Flash Relay integrates comprehensive functions including feeder protection measurement, optical link monitoring, local HMI parameter configuration, fault recording, Modbus-RTU (RS-485) communication and relay output control, featuring excellent EMC immunity and insulation performance for harsh on-site operating conditions. It is a standard active arc protection solution for medium/low-voltage feeder cabinets and Motor Control Centers (MCC).
