Masterpact NW, MTZ2, MTZ3 Remote Racking Device

Schneider Electric’s remote racking device for Masterpact® NW, MTZ2, MTZ3  circuit breakers is designed to help you reduce the arc flash safety hazard for personnel during installation, startup and maintenance procedures by allowing maintenance personnel the ability to “rack” a low voltage draw-out circuit breaker from a location outside of the arc flash boundary. The compact, portable, and simple design enhances the effective use of the remote racking device.

How to Videos
