High-Selectivity, Low-Cost UV Arc Flash Protection

ZYGGOT® Arc SPL is Varixx’s revolutionary solution for arc flash protection, combining advanced technology with affordability. Using ultraviolet detection, this patented technology reduces incident energy by up to 150 times compared to traditional methods, preventing damage and enhancing the safety of both personnel and equipment.

Equipped with high-sensitivity sensors, Arc SPL detects arc faults in less than 250 µs (0.00025 seconds), protecting entire compartments with a single sensor thanks to UV radiation reflection. Installation is simplified by eliminating the need for dedicated relays and current monitoring, while also enabling easy system integration via Modbus and Ethernet.

Already tested and approved in hundreds of applications, it ensures high reliability with fast system recovery, making it ideal for equipment that requires effective protection at a low cost.

Key features:

 

  • No current measurement required to confirm arc faults

  • Arc flash operation in less than 250 µs

  • Reduces incident energy

  • High selectivity, allowing independent trips for each cubicle

  • Detects UV in non-visible points through reflection

  • Event logging
