VAMP 50 series-4

Protection VAMP 50 series Arc flash protection When traditional time-grading or blocking protection coordination principle is used, it may not provide fast enough protection of substation faults. Further, high-impedance type of earthfaults may cause prolonged operation times of earth-fault relays leading to the significant release of arcing energy. These facts pose a considerable risk to operation personnel and economical assets. By applying a modern, high-speed arc protection system the damage may be considerably reduced. Such an arc protection system is an optional feature that can be incorporated...
