7.9.5 System Arc Detection
It is a safety requirement that an arc flash event must be detected as quickly as possible. Once
the risk of arc flash is detected, it is contained and any source that could feed additional energy
into the arc event is rapidly disconnected. The detection circuitry also removes the drive run
enable via the CR3 input to prevent a run command from being issued to the cells.
Arc flash detection is handled external to the control, but a digital input must set SOP flag
"
SystemArcFaultDetected_O
" to produce an error/fault message and trigger an input
protection. This allows the drive to detect that the input protection has been triggered to record
the event in the event and fault logs and that input power has been removed. This SOP flag will
trigger both an IP protection fault and log the fault message. It will also cause the LFR relay to set
to the tripped position to indicate an IP fault, and require a manual, keyswitch reset.
Fault message "System Arc Detected" will display in the Event Log and Fault Log to indicate a
System Arc Fault has been triggered and MV has been shut down via external means.
