Alarm on Unit Health 

Configurable to non-failsafe 

to prevent alarms where 

generators/battery banks are 

frequently cycling on/off) in 

order to avoid nuisance alarms.

PGA-LS10 Sensor 

Monitors breaker 

compartment on 

the line side of the 

generator breaker.

24 Vdc  Supply 

Uses the battery banks and 

commonly available generator 

supply voltage.

To Generator Breaker

Disconnect from bus which may include 

parallel generators or the utility.

To AVR 

Shut down the generator. This 

could be an emergency stop or 

other control circuit.

Small form factor to fit in tight spaces of mobile gensets.

AF0100 CONNECTION DIAGRAM 

Generators are often the last line of defense in powering and protecting critical applications. The generator breaker 

is the last line of defense protecting the generator itself: there is no protection at all between the line side of the 

breaker and the generator. The AF0100 includes two Form-C Trip outputs that quickly respond to an arc flash, turning 

off the generator using the AVR or other control circuits and disconnecting from the utility or parallel generators by 

tripping the generator breaker. The AF0100 can be supplied directly off a battery bank and withstand the challenging 

environment, vibration, and space requirements of a generator application.
