Apparent Power, S Complex power expressed in units of volt-amps (VA), kilovolt-amps (kVA), or
megavolt-amps (MVA). Accounts for both real (P) and reactive (Q) power dis-
sipated in a circuit: S = P + jQ.
Arc-Flash Detection
The sensing of an arc-flash condition by detection of light and overcurrent by
the relay.
Bare-Fiber Sensor —The fiber optic loop sensor used for arc-flash
detection.
Point Sensor —The fiber-optic cable sensor with a light diffuser on the
end and used for arc-flash detection.
Arc-Flash Protection
(Relay)
An action performed by the relay to minimize the arc-flash hazard.
