Arc Flash Protection Relay

 

Arc Flash Protection Relays for Switchgear & Electrical Panels

Arc flash protection relays are used in switchgear and electrical panels where an internal arc fault needs to be detected and cleared as quickly as possible.

These relays are commonly required in MV switchgear, LV switchboards, substations, MCCs and industrial power-distribution panels. Requirements may come from a new switchgear project, an existing panel upgrade or replacement of an older ABB REA or Schneider Electric VAMP arc-protection system.

ARP IMPEX supplies arc flash protection relays for project, maintenance and replacement requirements. Buyers looking for an arc flash protection relay supplier in India, switchgear arc protection relay exporter, or a specific ABB or Schneider Electric model can send us the complete relay reference for quotation.

Arc Protection Requirements We Commonly Receive

Most arc-protection enquiries are connected with switchgear rather than a general relay requirement.

Typical applications include:

• MV switchgear panels
• LV switchboards
• Busbar compartments
• Cable compartments
• Circuit-breaker compartments
• Industrial substations
• Power plants
• Steel and cement plants
• Mining installations
• Oil & gas facilities
• Utility and infrastructure projects

Some buyers already have the exact relay model specified in the project. Others are trying to replace an existing arc relay or sensor system installed in an older switchboard.

In either case, the existing relay model, switchgear arrangement and sensor requirement are useful starting points.

ABB Arc Flash Protection Relays

ABB arc-protection requirements often involve the REA series, including models such as REA101, REA103, REA105 and REA107.

These systems are used in switchgear where optical arc detection and fast tripping are required. Existing ABB installations may include the main arc relay together with sensors and other system components, so replacement enquiries are best checked against the complete installed arrangement.

ABB’s newer Relion protection platforms can also include arc-flash protection, depending on the relay model and configuration.

For an ABB REA arc flash relay quotation, send the complete model number, quantity and delivery country. For an existing system, photographs of the relay and connected sensors can also help.

Schneider Electric VAMP Arc Protection Relays

Schneider Electric VAMP products are widely used for arc protection in electrical switchgear.

Common requirements include VAMP 120, VAMP 121, VAMP 125, VAMP 221 and VAMP 321. These may be required for new switchboards, plant maintenance or replacement of an existing VAMP installation.

We also receive enquiries for Schneider Electric PowerLogic protection relays where arc-flash protection forms part of the overall protection scheme.

If you are looking for a VAMP arc protection relay supplier in India, VAMP 221 supplier, VAMP 321 arc relay, or replacement for an older VAMP unit, send the exact model reference and quantity for quotation.

Replacing an Existing Arc Protection Relay?

Arc-protection systems usually include more than the relay itself. The existing switchgear may also have optical sensors, zone wiring and trip connections that need to remain compatible with the replacement.

For older ABB REA or Schneider Electric VAMP installations, send us the relay model, nameplate photograph and, if possible, photos of the sensors or associated equipment.

If the original relay is no longer available, the existing switchgear details and sensor arrangement can help us check a suitable replacement or current model.

Arc Flash Protection for New Switchgear Projects

For new switchgear projects, the arc-protection relay is often already specified by the consultant, EPC contractor or switchgear manufacturer.

If the model is finalized, send us the BOM, approved relay reference and required quantity and we can quote accordingly.

We supply arc flash protection relays for MV switchgear, electrical panels and optical arc-detection systems, including model-specific ABB and Schneider Electric requirements.

If the relay is still to be selected, send us the switchgear layout, number of panels or compartments, preferred brand and project specification.

Arc Flash Protection Relay FAQs

Which arc flash protection relay brands do you supply?

We handle ABB and Schneider Electric arc-protection requirements, including ABB REA systems, Schneider VAMP relays and applicable multifunction protection relays with arc-protection functions.

Can you supply ABB REA arc protection relays?

Yes. We handle model-specific ABB REA requirements for existing switchgear installations and replacement projects.

Can you supply Schneider Electric VAMP 120, 221 and 321?

Yes. VAMP model-specific requirements can be quoted against the complete relay reference and quantity.

Can you help replace an older arc protection relay?

Yes. Send the existing relay model and clear photographs of the relay and sensors. For older installations, the existing switchgear arrangement is often useful when checking a replacement.

What should I send for a new switchgear project?

If the relay is already specified, send the BOM or complete model reference. If not, share the switchgear application, number of panels or compartments involved, preferred brand and required quantity.
