Why Choose the ABB TVOC-2-DP6 6 Metre Arc Detector?
The ABB TVOC-2-DP6 is an optical arc detector for the ABB Arc Guard System™ TVOC-2, designed to detect the intense light generated by an electrical arc fault inside switchgear, control panels and power distribution equipment. Supplied under ABB order code 1SFA664003R1060, this detector provides a dedicated sensing point for fast arc-flash detection within electrical installations.
As part of the ABB TVOC-2 Arc Guard system, the detector works with a compatible TVOC-2 arc monitor to provide rapid optical detection of arc faults. By positioning detectors close to areas where an arc could occur, the protection system can identify abnormal light conditions and initiate the configured protective response.
The TVOC-2-DP6 is supplied with a 6 m detector cable, providing flexibility when positioning the optical sensor within switchboards, motor control centres and other electrical assemblies. Its dedicated ABB connection makes it suitable for extending arc detection coverage across multiple compartments of a switchgear installation.

Fast Optical Detection for Arc-Flash Protection
Electrical arc faults generate an extremely intense burst of light. The ABB TVOC-2 system uses optical detectors such as the TVOC-2-DP6 to recognise this characteristic light and send a detection signal to the arc monitor, enabling the protection system to react rapidly according to its configured trip arrangement.
Installing multiple detectors throughout electrical switchgear allows arc detection coverage to be distributed across separate compartments and high-risk areas. The 6 m cable on the TVOC-2-DP6 provides additional installation flexibility when routing the detector back to the compatible TVOC-2 monitoring unit.
Typical Applications
- Low-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear.
- Electrical switchboards and distribution panels.
- Motor control centres.
- Industrial power distribution systems.
- Busbar and cable compartments.
- Critical electrical installations requiring arc-flash detection.
