Why Choose the ABB TVOC-2-DP15 15 Metre Arc Detector?
The ABB TVOC-2-DP15, ABB order code 1SFA664003R1150, is an optical arc detector with a 15 m fibre-optic cable designed specifically for the ABB Arc Guard System TVOC-2. Installed at strategic points within electrical switchgear, the detector monitors for the intense light generated by an internal arc fault and provides the optical detection input required by the TVOC-2 protection system.
The TVOC-2-DP15 consists of a fibre-optic cable connected to an optical lens. The lens provides a 180° detection angle and can detect arc light at distances of up to approximately 3 m, depending on the intensity of the light. This allows effective monitoring of switchgear compartments while keeping the detector electrically isolated from the monitored circuit.
With its 15 m cable length, the TVOC-2-DP15 provides substantial flexibility when positioning detectors across larger switchboards and electrical enclosures. Used as part of the TVOC-2 Arc Guard System, it supports rapid detection of arc faults so the arc monitor can send a trip signal to the circuit breaker within approximately 1 ms, helping minimise incident energy, equipment damage and downtime.

Optical Arc Detection for Electrical Switchgear
Electrical arc faults can release significant energy within a fraction of a second, making detection and fault-clearing speed critical to reducing the potential consequences. ABB's Arc Guard System TVOC-2 uses optical detectors positioned throughout the switchgear to recognise the intense light generated by an arc and rapidly signal the associated protection equipment.
The TVOC-2-DP15's 15 m fibre-optic cable enables the sensing lens to be positioned in areas such as busbar, cable and circuit-breaker compartments while the cable is routed back to the TVOC-2 system. Multiple detectors can be distributed throughout a switchboard to provide comprehensive arc-light monitoring, with the TVOC-2 architecture supporting up to 30 sensors when appropriately expanded.
Typical Applications
- Low-voltage switchgear and switchboards.
- Medium-voltage switchgear installations.
- Motor control centres.
- Busbar compartments and distribution sections.
- Circuit-breaker and cable compartments.
- Industrial power distribution panels.
- ABB TVOC-2 Arc Guard protection systems.
