An expandable unit with internal light and current detection for small protection zones.

Optical sensors (for light) and current transformers (for overcurrent) identify the arc fault.

The electronic unit sends a trip signal to the PSE in less than 1 ms. abb+ufes+manual

Three units that create the metallic short-circuit in less than 1.5 ms.

The UFES is a combination of high-speed electronics and primary switching elements (PSE) designed to initiate a controlled three-phase short-circuit to earth. The system typically consists of: An expandable unit with internal light and current

The feeder circuit-breaker finally shuts down the resulting controlled earth fault current. Technical Specifications UFES | ABB - Core components

Uses external detection devices like the ABB Arc Guard System™ TVOC-2 or REA arc protection for large-scale monitoring. Operational Workflow Three units that create the metallic short-circuit in

The manual provides critical instructions for installing, configuring, and maintaining one of the industry's fastest active arc-fault protection systems . By extinguishing internal arcs in less than 4 milliseconds , the UFES system significantly reduces the thermal and mechanical stresses that can destroy switchgear and endanger personnel.
