The SELCO Arc-fault Protection System is based on experience
with arc protection since 1962. The system units are built into
boxes all fitting 35mm DIN-rails. Front plates are dimensioned
to fit into the 45mm slot in the cover plates of a DIN-system.
The Arc Detecting Relay is connected to light sensitive detec-
tors suitably placed in the various cubicles or drawers inside the
switchboard. The Overcurrent Relay is used if overcurrent protec-
tion is required as well.
