Main: ARC protection equipment
The Institute develops and manufactures the arc protection equipment based on the fiber-distributed detector. Whenever the electric arc appears in the cabinets of the integrated distribution devices 0.4-35 kV, the arc location is identified (cell number), and the electric signal to switch off the cabinet is generated into the automatics and relay protection circuits. Max length of the detector covering one or a number of cabinets is 35 m, the number of sections monitored at one and the same time is 32.
The arc protection equipment is fast-response, safe in the operation, easy to install, and requires almost no maintenance.
The arc protection devices are successfully operated at several dozens of power generating facilities and nuclear power plants.
