Prevent Deadly Arc-Flashes with Arc-Flash Relays

With just one spark, an arc flash can trigger a fire or explosion, damaging equipment, shutting down production, and potentially injuring workers. This can cost you thousands in downtime, equipment replacement costs, medical bills, and more. Arc-flash relays can prevent this from occurring, and the latest arc-flash relay from Littelfuse makes it easier than ever to add arc-flash protection to your system.

The AF0500 Series Arc-Flash Relay is a microprocessor-based arc-flash protection relay that uses light sensors to detect the light from an arc flash, sending a trip signal to the breaker in 1 ms to cut power before damage can occur. Well suited for switchgear, transformer, and motor control center applications, the AF0500 Series features zone and upstream breaker tripping to protect multiple systems with the same relay and ensure your system is safe. The plug-and-play installation also makes it faster to install than the competition, saving time and money.
