ZYGGOT® Arc

Arc Flash Protection System

Protects electrical installations and components by detecting electric arcs through the detection of ultraviolet radiation by intelligent sensors connected to a network. Does not require current reading. Does not act with ambient light (false trip) and can be applied to low, medium and high voltage panels and outdoor applications, reducing incident energy.

Protects electrical installations and components by detecting electric arcs through the detection of ultraviolet radiation by intelligent sensors connected to a network. Does not require current reading. Does not act with ambient light (false trip) and can be applied to low, medium and high voltage panels and outdoor applications, reducing incident energy.

Dispensing with the need for current reading, it provides protection by detecting ultraviolet radiation, produced in any electric arc, even before visible light (which is associated with the air expansion and overheating phase). Detection is ultra-fast, with a total trip signal sending time of up to 300 microseconds. To guarantee this time, the system uses a static contact in parallel with the relay contact and an ultra-fast digital communication network (CAN) at the output. Cables are supplied in sizes from 0.3 to 8 meters. All accessories are supplied, such as fixing brackets, allowing for quick, error-free installation without the use of tools.

Two sensor options for different applications

Zyggot Arco sensors do not require current reading and provide protection by detecting ultraviolet radiation, produced in any electric arc before visible light (which is associated with the air expansion and overheating phase).

UVA Sensor
For applications in sheltered environments up to 3kV.
UVB Sensor
For applications in unsheltered environments up to 3kV.

Arc Flash Phases

Why does the ZYGGOT® Arc save lives?

This system, activated instantly by the Zyggot sensor, offers the fastest response on the market, sending the trip signal in just 0.3 milliseconds (300 microseconds). It uses a static contact and a dry contact, as well as an ultra-fast digital communication network (CAN), ensuring exceptional efficiency and minimized response times.
