Arc resistant switchgear channels the energy released during an internal arc fault in ways that minimize the potential for injury to personnel and damage to surrounding equipment. Across the line, this switchgear leads the way in arc resistant technology. It's available in ANSI Type 1 or Type 2 construction with no larger footprint than the standard switchgear design. Circuit breakers are interlocked so they cannot be opened, closed or racked to the connected position with the arc resistant door open. This minimizes the opportunity for operator error. But arc resistant protection is important at every step, not just when opening and closing the circuit breaker, so our single-latch doors close and engage in a single action, which provides virtually automatic protection for the operator. The pressure release venting panels are maintenance-free.
