Personnel safety
A fast and reliable arc protection system may save human
lives in case of an arc fault arising in a switchgear during
work in or near the installation.
Reliable Operation
Function based on the simultaneous appearance of light and
current or alternatively on the appearance of light alone,
depending on the application. Designed according to IEC60255 standard for protective relays.
Vast Experience
Vamp Ltd. is the pioneer in the field of arc protection with
close to 10 000 arc protection systems in service world-wide.

The modern motor control centers (MCC) equipped with an arc flash
protection gives an ultra-fast arc protection for the switchgear limiting
the possible arc flash fault to a minimum. The point sensors give an
accurate location of the fault thus the required repair for the MCCs is

fast and the power can be restored without fault location time delay.
Central unit trips both the incoming LV circuit breaker and the circuit
breaker up-stream. The nature for an arc flash fault can be fuse, cable
termination, contactor or circuit breaker feeding the motor in the MCC.
