Littelfuse AF0025-00 - The AF0025 series arc-flash relay is a cost-effective and OEM-focused solution that provides innovative arc-flash protection in a compact package. The relay is able to significantly reduce arc-fault damage in ac and dc compartments by detecting the light from an arc flash using one or two optical sensors, and rapidly providing a trip signal. The compact design means it can be surface or DIN-rail mounted into the smallest spaces possible, making it an ideal OEM solution for tight cabinets such as combiner boxes and inverters. The AF0025 is conformal coated to provide protection from environmental concerns.The use of one or two sensors makes it flexible for small or medium-size panels, with onboard or remote reset capability. There are no settings required, making it quick and easy to install without the need for a computer. The unit also includes a solid-state redundant trip circuit, providing an internal fail-safe mechanism and a very fast arc-flash response even during power up. One isolated changeover (Form C) output contact is provided to issue the trip signal to the interrupting device, which can be set to fail-safe or non-fail-safe operating modes. A second Form C contact is provided to signal an error condition such as a loss of communication to a sensor

How to Install the AF0025 Arc-Flash Relay

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the AF0025 Arc-Flash Relay, ensuring proper setup for monitoring and safety.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors

  1. Mount the AF0025 Relay

    Secure the AF0025 relay to the DIN rail or surface using the integrated clips. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.

  2. Install Arc-Flash Sensors

    Mount the PGA-LS10-01B sensor(s) in the designated monitoring locations, ensuring they are unobstructed. Connect the sensors to the AF0025 relay.

  3. Connect Power Supply

    Connect the positive terminal to terminal 9, the negative terminal to terminal 10, and connect terminal 11 to ground.

  4. Connect Relay Outputs

    Wire the ERROR and TRIP relays according to your application needs. Refer to the AF0025 manual for details on changing the TRIP relay operating mode.

  5. Power Up and Reset

    Apply the supply voltage to the AF0025. Press the RESET button for at least 10 seconds but less than 20 seconds to auto-detect the sensor configuration.

  6. Perform a Performance Test

    Use a high-intensity light source on each connected sensor to verify that the TRIP output changes state and operates the attached device as expected.
