The arc-resistant rating for switchgear is designed to enhance safety during routine maintenance.
Eaton has announced the industry’s first low voltage switchgear technology designed to extend type 2B arc-resistant ratings with the instrument and breaker secondary door open. Providing centralized control and protection for low-voltage power distribution equipment, the new switchgear is engineered to improve uptime for data center, oil and gas, mining, utility and other mission critical industrial applications.
“With an innovational two-part design, Eaton’s latest switchgear helps protect personnel around the perimeter of the switchgear from dangerous arcing faults,” said Bisrat Girma, product manager at Eaton. “The technological breakthrough demonstrates Eaton’s commitment to developing safety solutions that are designed to enhance both personnel safety and electrical system availability.”
