PROTECTION AGAINST ARC FAULTS 

## **Arc Fault Detection Device DS-ARC1 with integrated RCBO** Data sheet 

DS-ARC1 is the new 1P+N AFDD with an integrated residual current circuit breaker with over-current protection (RCBO) in 6 kA and 10 kA breaking capacity. 

In only three-module width, DS-ARC1 series offers a complete protection against arc faults overvoltages, overcurrent, earth fault currents. 

— 

01 

> — DS-ARC1 is an AFDD compliant to the product 01 The arc fault detection device DS-ARC1 with standard “IEC 62606 – General requirements for 

> an integrated RCBO Arc Fault Detection Devices” intended to mitigate the effects of arcing faults by disconnecting the circuit when an arc fault is detected. DS-ARC1 is integrated with an RCBO for a complete protection against overcurrents, earth fault currents and arc faults in only three modules width. 

## **Recommendation for any room** 

The use of the AFDD is additionally recommended in any rooms with sleeping facilities in private apartments, houses, hospitals (does not apply in medically use areas) and hotels. 

## **Offers protection against** 

- Earth arc fault 

- Parallel arc fault 

- Series arc fault 

## **Strongly recommended applications according to the standard IEC 60364-4-42:** 

- **Sleeping and common rooms** in nurseries, senior and care homes, equipment for disabled persons 

- **Places and rooms with existing fire risks and flammable materials,** such as production facilities, barns, carpenter workshops, paper manufacturing plants or printing shops where the fire risk is high 

- **Places and rooms with prevailingly flammable building materials** like wood houses, flammable buildings or forced ventilation systems 

- **Places and rooms with irreplaceable goods (cultural assets),** such as those in museums, libraries, galleries, archives or architectural monuments 

- Overvoltage (higher than 275 V) 

- Overload 

- Short-circuit 

- Earth fault currents 

## **Application benefits** 

- Easy cross-wiring and easy installation with System pro M compact® busbars without any extra cables 

- Supply possible both from top and bottom side: double slots available for connection with cables and busbars 

- Family feeling in the System pro M compact® range 

- Compatible with System pro M compact® accessories 

- LED for an easy troubleshooting of the network 

- Two test button to verify the correct working conditions of AFDD and RCD 

- Continuous internal self-test

Fault analysis and earth fault indicator 

## **—** 

## **Easy fault analysis** 

In the case of a fault, the LED displays the different fault indications as soon as the toggle has been reclosed. 

|**LED color**|**blink/sec**|**Signal**<br>**duration**|**Cause of**<br>**tripping**|
|---|---|---|---|
|Green|permanent|permanent|Manual tripping, test<br>button, overcurrent|
|Red blinking|1|5 sec|Series arc fault|
|Red blinking|2|5 sec|Parallel arc fault|
|Red blinking|3|5 sec|Over-voltage|



After the 5 second blinking the LED turns green again. 

## **—** 

## **Earth fault indicator** 

DS-ARC1 is equipped with an earth fault indicator to identify earth fault trips. A blue flag on the toggle will appear making the troubleshooting easier while reducing the downtime for maintenance operations. In case of earth fault trip, the LED becomes green after reclosing the toggle.
