Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover fast operating devices intended to
interrupt currents associated with arcing faults, having
interrupting times faster than conventional overcurrent
devices.
These requirements cover open type devices that are intended to
be installed within power distribution equipment.
These requirements cover devices rated up to 38 kV ac
maximum.
This outline does not include the requirements for sensors
intended to detect arcing faults, devices intended to trigger the
functioning of the arc interrupting device, or devices intended to
quench arcing faults by transferring the arc to a lower impedance
path.
This outline does not include requirements for integration and
testing of arcing fault interrupting devices within equipment it is
intended to protect.
