The REA 105 module detects light and carries out tripping if the main REA 101 module simultaneously provides an overcurrent signal. REA 105 modules are typically used for main-tie-main configured switchgears or as selective arc monitoring and tripping units for the cable termination zones.
Scope
• Zone selective extension unit for the main REA101 module with direct CB tripping capability
Product benefits
• Extends the arc flash detection area by one fiber sensor in loop or radial arrangement
• Enables zone-selective tripping schemes for busbar sections or feeders
• Serves as overcurrent-status-transmitting link between two REA 101 main modules
Product features
• Supports one loop or radial-type fiber sensor, or one lens-type sensor for arc light detection
• Two high-speed IGBT outputs for direct and selective CB tripping in less than 1 ms
• Carries out tripping also whenever the connected REA 101 module(s) trip
• Circuit breaker failure protection with delayed light signal to the main REA 101 module
