— Maximum safety in buildings Extended fire protection in the electrical installation with AFDDs Comprehensively protect people, irreplaceable goods and buildings – easier, better, safer. Extended fire protection in the electrical installation with ABB’s arc fault detection devices (AFDD) S-ARC1 and DS-ARC1 — 01 The S-ARC1 and DS-ARC1 reliably protect against arc faults. Each year over two million fires erupt all over Europe. More than one third of these due to faults in the electrical installation which prevailingly occur as a result of dangerous arc faults. The best comprehensive...

EAR LY DET ECT I ON FOR EX TEN DED PROTE C TION AGAINST FIRE S — 01 Security in buildings with flammable materials With AFDDs many hazards triggered by disruptions in the electrical installation are detected in advance. Thus, the existing gap of protection against arc faults is closed, leading to complete safety in buildings for persons, investments and irreplaceable goods. In case the overvoltage level exceeds 275 V, both S-ARC1 and DS-ARC1 are equipped with an overvoltage protection. In addition, DS-ARC1 also offers protection against earth fault currents. With S-ARC1 people and valuable...

MAXIMUM SAFETY WITH EASY INSTALLATION 01 The LED function in detail 02 LED colors: off, green, red 03 Contact position indicator (CPI) in detail S-ARC1 and DS-ARC1 are equipped with LED function monitoring, which shows the current status of the device and identifies the cause of the tripping. Maintenance time can therefore be reduced thanks to an easier troubleshooting of the network. During standard operating mode (toggle in ON position), the LED is green. When the toggle is on OFF position, the LED is OFF. Easy fault analysis In the case of a fault, the LED displays the different fault...
