AP902  is  a  sophisticated  micro-processor  based  arc  flash  protection  unit  including 
complete self-supervision functionality. It is designed to minimize the damage caused by 
an  arcing  fault  (arc  flash)  by  tripping  the  circuit  breaker  sourcing  the  fault  current.  The 
AP902  complete  system  self-supervision  function  provides  the  highest  level  of 
dependability by continuously monitoring all internal system functions along with external 
connections.    

AP902 is designed according to the latest protection relay standards and is hence suitable 
for  installations  in  rough  environments,  such  as  utility,  traditional  or  renewable  power 
plants,  off  shore,  marine,  oil  and  gas,  mining,  steel  or  any  other  heavy  industry 
applications and as well commercial and institutional electrical systems. AP902 is suitable 
for either medium voltage or low voltage switchgear and motor control center applications 
in both new and retrofit installations.
