Preview - ZYGGOT® Octogonal (OCTO)

UV sensor for arc detection with high EMI immunity

ZYGGOT® Octogonal (OCTO) is the evolution of Varixx UV sensors for applications where the installation has high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Designed with an improved layout and architecture, OCTO incorporates constructive solutions to increase immunity to electric and electromagnetic fields, reducing sensitivity to interference in harsh environments.

At the same time, OCTO was developed to maintain full compatibility with existing installations, enabling quick retrofitting and standardization without infrastructure changes: same mounting, same connector, and same detection parameters (field of view, speed, and sensitivity).
Collapse

High EMI immunity for electromagnetically “polluted” environments

Internal shielding and PCB/layout redesign for additional robustness

Simple retrofit, without mechanical or special adaptations

Optimized installation and commissioning (including auto-addressing in large systems)

Lighter construction, with reduced steel and use of FARADEX™

Better cost competitiveness to expand standardization in the field

UV sensor with internal shielding and high EMI immunity

Typical Applications

Medium voltage and environments with high power/maneuvering density

Installations with a higher probability of EMI, partial discharges, and corona effect (critical environments)

Upgrades (retrofits) to existing systems to increase robustness and standardization

Why invest in ZYGGOT® OCTO?

Greater electromagnetic immunity: Optimized layout and architecture, with internal shielding to reduce sensitivity to interference.

Full compatibility (simple retrofit): Same mounting, same connector, and same detection parameters (field of view, speed, and sensitivity).

Easier and faster installation: Optimized connectors and easier commissioning in large-scale systems (auto-addressing).

Lighter and more efficient construction in materials: Less use of steel and greater use of FARADEX™ composite, with a positive impact on logistics and durability.
