3. General
The AQ-102LV Zber optic loop sensor device is a sophisticated microprocessor-based arc flash
protection unit that includes complete self-supervision. The device is designed to minimize the damage
caused by an arcing fault (arc flash) by tripping the circuit breaker which supplies current to the fault.
The complete system self-supervision functionality of AQ-102LV provides the highest level of
dependability as it continuously monitors all internal system functions as well as all external
connections.
The AQ-102LV device is designed according to the latest protection relay standards and is therefore
suitable for installations in rough environments. These include utilities and power plants (both traditional
and renewable), various heavy industry applications (off-shore, marine, oil, gas, mining, steel, etc.) as
well as commercial and institutional electrical systems. While AQ-102LV is suitable for MV use, it is
designed for LV switchgears and for motor control center applications in both new and retroZtted
installations.
3.1. Dimensions and installation
AQ-102LV can be either door-mounted or panel-mounted in a standard 19 inch rack. The unit's
dimensions are as follows:
• Height: 177 mm (7.00")
• Width: 50 mm (1.97")
• Depth: 162 mm (6.38").
The Zgure below presents a side view of the device and gives the dimensions in more detail. Please
note that all values are given in millimeters.
