VAMP Arc flash protection system for CFE substation in Colima, Mexico (02.02.2010)

Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE), the main utility of Mexico, has installed Vamp arc flash protection technology in their Colima substation in northern Mexico. The investment was made to enhance the safety of employees and property against any arc flash incidents and to increase the reliability of energy distribution to consumers.

The solution chosen by CFE comprises a Vamp 221 arc flash protection system, seven VAM10 L I/O units, and point sensors for full selectivity and continuous self-supervision of the entire system. It will ensure instant detection of arc flashes and an operation time of up to 7 ms to trigger the breaker. The system was installed in November 2008 at CFE’s Colima Norte substation by Vamp’s representative Allectro, S.A. de C.V. The 115/13.8 kV substation belonging to CFE Distribution Occidente started operations in December 2008.

Experience from the Vamp system has met all expectations and Comision Federal de Electriciad is planning to continue retrofitting their substations with Vamp arc flash protection systems.
