Arc-Flash Solutions

SEL arc-flash detection technology significantly decreases the time it takes a relay to trip in response to an arc fault, which reduces hazardous arc-flash incident energy. SEL-751 and SEL-851 Feeder Protection Relays and SEL-849 Motor Management Relays combine light-sensing technology with fast overcurrent protection to provide high-speed arc-flash detection. Combining these technologies allows high-speed tripping during arc-flash events without overtripping for external faults.
