REA arc protection minimizes the risks of accidents
REA Arc Protection minimizes the risks of an
arc fault
Injury to people can be avoided
Damage to equipment can be minimized
Production losses are limited to a
minimum
REA interrupts the fault current before the arc
causes damage sending a tripping signal
within 2.5 ms
Detects light by means of an uncoated optical
fiber forming an extended light sensor
REA is a smart investment to ensure security
for investments and assets in the switchgear
