This part of IEC 60947 covers low-voltage arc quenching devices, hereinafter referred to as AQDs, which are intended to eliminate arc-faults in low-voltage assemblies (typically lowvoltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies in accordance with the IEC 61439 series), by creating a lower impedance current path, to cause the arcing current to transfer to the new current path.

This part of IEC 60947 covers low-voltage arc quenching devices, hereinafter referred to as AQDs, which are intended to eliminate arc-faults in low-voltage assemblies (typically low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies in accordance with the IEC 61439 series), by creating a lower impedance current path, to cause the arcing current to transfer to the new current path. This new current path is maintained until a short-circuit protection device (SCPD) interrupts the short-circuit current.

AQDs are installed in low-voltage assemblies, connected to the main circuit, preferably as close as possible to all primary power sources.

Their rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC. This document does not cover:

  • sensors intended to detect arc-faults;

  • devices intended to trigger the functioning of the arc quenching device;

  • devices intended to interrupt arc-fault current;

  • special requirements for AQDs for use in explosive atmospheres (e.g. ATEX).
