Why Choose the ABB TVOC-DP4 Detector for the Original TVOC Arc Guard System?
The ABB TVOC-DP4, order code 1SFA663003R1040, is an optical arc detector with a 4 m detector cable for the original ABB TVOC Arc Guard System. It is designed to detect the intense light produced by an electrical arc fault so the associated Arc Guard protection system can initiate rapid protective action.
The detector is intended for strategic positioning within switchgear and switchboards where arc faults may occur. Optical detection enables the Arc Guard system to respond to arc-flash light independently of conventional overcurrent detection, supporting rapid fault recognition in low-voltage electrical distribution assemblies.
The 4 m integrated cable length provides installation flexibility between the detector location and the Arc Guard monitoring equipment. ABB identifies 1SFA663003R1040 as the legacy TVOC-1-DP4 / TVOC-DP4 detector associated with the original TVOC system; it should therefore be distinguished from the later TVOC-2-DP4 detector, which uses a different ABB order code.
Key Advantages
- Optical detector designed for the ABB Arc Guard System.
- Detects the intense light associated with an electrical arc fault.
- Integrated 4 m detector cable provides useful positioning flexibility inside switchgear.
- Supports rapid arc-fault detection when connected to the appropriate Arc Guard monitoring system.
- Suitable for strategic installation around busbars and other potential arc-fault locations.
- Genuine ABB component for servicing and maintaining installations using the original TVOC system.
Key Features
- ABB TVOC-DP4 optical arc detector.
- Legacy detector for the original TVOC Arc Guard System.
- 4 m detector cable length.
- Optical detection of arc-flash light.
- Designed for installation within electrical switchgear and switchboards.
- Passive detector component used with compatible Arc Guard monitoring equipment.
- ABB order code 1SFA663003R1040.
- Legacy type designation also documented as TVOC-1-DP4.
Fast Optical Detection of Electrical Arc Faults
An electrical arc fault produces an intense burst of light, and the TVOC-DP4 is positioned within the protected switchgear to detect this optical event. When used as part of the appropriate ABB Arc Guard installation, the detector provides the optical input required by the monitoring system to recognise an arc fault and initiate the configured protective sequence.
Detector placement is an important part of an Arc Guard installation because the optical sensor must monitor the relevant potential arc-fault zones. The integrated 4 m cable provides flexibility when locating the detector around busbar sections, breaker compartments and other protected areas while routing the connection back to the compatible monitoring equipment.
Typical Applications
- Legacy ABB TVOC Arc Guard installations.
- Low-voltage switchboards and switchgear.
- Electrical distribution panels.
- Busbar and breaker compartments.
- Motor control centres.
- Industrial power distribution assemblies.
- Maintenance and servicing of existing original TVOC installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB TVOC-DP4 1SFA663003R1040?
The ABB TVOC-DP4 is an optical arc detector with a 4 m detector cable for the original ABB TVOC Arc Guard System.
What does the ABB TVOC-DP4 detect?
The detector responds to the intense light generated by an electrical arc fault, providing an optical detection input to the associated ABB Arc Guard protection system.
How long is the cable on ABB 1SFA663003R1040?
The TVOC-DP4 has a detector cable length of 4 m.
Is ABB 1SFA663003R1040 an original TVOC or TVOC-2 detector?
Order code 1SFA663003R1040 belongs to ABB's original TVOC detector range and is also documented under the legacy designation TVOC-1-DP4.
Is the TVOC-DP4 the same as the TVOC-2-DP4?
No. The legacy TVOC-DP4 has ABB order code 1SFA663003R1040. The later TVOC-2-DP4 is a different detector with ABB order code 1SFA664003R1040, so the two order codes should not be confused when specifying replacement components.
Where is the ABB TVOC-DP4 installed?
The detector is positioned within switchgear, switchboards and other protected electrical compartments so that it can detect the light generated by an arc fault in the monitored area.
Can ABB 1SFA663003R1040 be used for maintaining an existing Arc Guard installation?
Yes. The 1SFA663003R1040 is a legacy detector associated with the original ABB TVOC system and is relevant when identifying components for the maintenance or servicing of compatible existing installations.
