6Eaton offers three different levels of arc fault protection / monitoring:The ARCON® 3G protection system is designed as modular system, so that flexible use in different switchgear assemblies is ensured.1.) ARCON® 3G simple arc protection system (only light criteria for arc fault monitoring especially to fulfill extensive personnel protection)2.) ARCON® 3G extended arc protection system (light & current criteria for full personnel and assembly protection)3.) ARCON® 3G complex arc protection system (up to 8 extended systems communicating over Masterlink/iCOM)The ARCON® 3G simple arc protection system is based on the following modules:The ARCON® 3G extended arc protection system is based on the following modules:To realize ARCON® 3G complex arc protection system same modules have to be used as for extended arc protection system.• ARC-LITE-3G Master LITE unit providing trip contacts & communication link to connected Line Sensor(s).• ARC-DMOD-3SL up to 3 Line Sensors (ARC-SL) and 1 Mobile Light Sensor (ARC-NTFS-MLS) for detecting electrical arc per each module.• ARC-DMOD-6NTFS up to 6 Point Sensors (ARC-NTFS-3M / ARC-NTFS-6M) and 1 Mobile Light Sensor (ARC-NTFS-MLS) for detecting electrical arc per each module.• ARC-MAIN-3G Master MAIN unit providing current measurement for additional tripping criteria (di/dt), voltage measurement, HMI, trip contacts & communication link to connected modules• ARC-DMOD-3SL Module for electrical arc detection via line sensor (ARC-SL)• ARC-DMOD-6NTFS Module for electrical arc detection via point sensor (ARC-NTFS)• ARC-MAIN-HMI Human Machine Interface to display and control the Master MAIN• ARC-TMOD-1QD Tripping module for external quenching device operation (ARC-AT)• Arc Protection Parameter Tool (APPT) allows easy system configuration and adaptation to each individual application• ARC-MAIN-3G Master MAIN unit providing current measurement for additional tripping criteria (di/dt), voltage measurement, HMI, trip contacts & communication link to connected modules• ARC-DMOD-3SL Module for electrical arc detection via line sensor (ARC-SL)• ARC-DMOD-6NTFS Module for electrical arc detection via point sensor (ARC-NTFS)• ARC-MAIN-HMI Human Machine Interface to display and control the Master MAIN• ARC-TMOD-1QD Tripping module for external quenching device (ARC-AT)• Arc Protection Parameter Tool (APPT) allows easy system configuration and adaptation to each individual application• Up to 8 Master MAIN units (ARC-MAIN-3G) are able to communicate with just 1 user interface (ARC-MAIN-HMI) via internal bus iCOM (for sharing any criteria between those units, please establish the Masterlink connection too)
