SIVACON S8plus – arc fault protection in switchboards
For electrical engineers in the industry, operators, and planners.
On-demand webinar
Low-voltage switchboards are subject to extensive demands and external influences. One significant challenge these systems can face is an arc fault, even though such cases occur extremely rarely. However, the consequences of such faults can be severe. In this webinar, we will delve into the occurrence, significance, and limitations of arc faults in low-voltage switchboards. The aim is to ensure the safety of personnel and assets while minimizing downtime and outage costs. We will also highlight the current state-of-the-art in active arc fault protection, demonstrating its leading role in shaping the future.
Our technical experts, Andreas Stöcker and Martin Sichting, are here to guide you through this exciting topic.
