Remote racking for Power-Zone 4 low voltage switchgear allows workers to rack out and rack in circuit breakers from outside of the arc flash boundariesBenefits
- Significantly reduces risk of exposure to direct blast or projectiles during an arc flash event. Personnel can operate the racking mechanism of circuit breakers from a distance of up to 9 metres (30 feet) allowing operators to be outside of the arc flash boundary
- Enhances operator peace of mind with multiple safety features:
- Self-test for correct operation gives visual indication the device is working properly
- Visual indication warns the operator when the racking mechanism has completed its cycle for consideration when moving back into the arc flash boundary area
- Improves efficiency of maintenance and installation personnel with a lightweight and portable design:
- With a simple connection design, the Masterpact NW, MTZ2, MTZ3 remote racking device can be easily attached and operated by one person
- Can be easily transferred from one circuit breaker to another during maintenance or installation procedures
- No application limitations based on height or position of circuit breaker
- Compact protective case with retractable handle and wheels can be easily maneuvered even in tight spaces
- Aids in user compliance with arc flash personnel protection as listed in CSA Z462, NFPA 70E
