Why Choose the ABB TVOC-2-DP8 Arc Detector?
The ABB TVOC-2-DP8 is a dedicated optical arc detector for the ABB Arc Guard System™ TVOC-2, designed to monitor switchgear compartments for the intense light produced by electrical arc faults. Supplied under ABB order code 1SFA664003R1080, it combines a fibre-optic cable with an optical lens to provide rapid arc-flash detection in electrical distribution equipment.
As part of the ABB TVOC-2 Arc Guard system, the TVOC-2-DP8 provides a sensing point that connects to the compatible TVOC-2 arc monitor. The detector lens monitors its surrounding area for abnormal light associated with an arc fault, allowing the Arc Guard system to initiate the configured protective response and minimise the duration of an arc event.
The TVOC-2-DP8 features an 8 m fibre-optic detector cable, providing flexibility when positioning the detector throughout switchboards, motor control centres and other electrical assemblies. Its optical lens provides a 180-degree detection angle, making it suitable for monitoring critical areas within switchgear compartments.

Fast Optical Detection for Arc-Flash Protection
Electrical arc faults produce an extremely intense burst of light. The ABB TVOC-2 system uses optical detectors such as the TVOC-2-DP8 to identify this characteristic light inside electrical equipment, enabling the connected arc monitor to initiate the configured protection sequence rapidly.
The detector's fibre-optic cable and optical lens allow the sensing point to be positioned close to potential arc locations while connecting back to the TVOC-2 monitoring system. With its 8 m cable and wide optical detection angle, the TVOC-2-DP8 provides flexible coverage for switchgear compartments and other critical electrical areas.
Typical Applications
- Electrical switchgear and switchboards.
- Power distribution panels.
- Motor control centres.
- Busbar compartments.
- Industrial electrical distribution systems.
- Critical installations requiring optical arc-flash detection.
