2021-5-1 · Quickly clearing faults is a key to arc flash mitigation. Circuit breaker or relay settings near the source of power may have significant time delays to allow for coordination of downstream devices. A relatively new way to address this issue is to use relays that detect the presence of arcing faults by looking for the flash of light associated with the arcing fault in addition to the characteristic current flow.
