CBS ArcSafe Minimizes Arc-Flash Exposure with New Remote-Switch Actuators for Low-Voltage Molded Case Circuit Breakers
Jane Alexander | November 3, 2014
CBS ArcSafe, the Texas-based maker of remote racking and switching solutions for low- and medium-voltage switchgear, has introduced a remote switch actuator for General Electric “E Line” (150 A frame size) low-voltage molded case circuit breakers. These new RSA-187A actuators allow personnel to operate the molded case circuit breakers from a safe distance outside the arc-flash perimeter without having to make any modifications to the breaker.
When accompanied by a CBS ArcSafe remote switch operator (RSO) control unit, the RSA-187A reduces the need for arc-flash suits and eliminates all hazardous manual contact with gear during operation by providing open and close operation from up to 300 feet away. The actuator is lightweight, portable, easy to install and set up, and provides technicians with a simple solution for hard-to-access breaker locations. The RSA-187A requires no modifications to be installed and operated and can be moved easily and quickly from one breaker to another.
All CBS ArcSafe products, including custom remote racking and switching solutions, are produced at the company’s manufacturing facility in Denton, TX.
