CBS ArcSafe Introduces 300-Foot Remote Racking System for Toshiba Circuit Breakers

en.Wedoany.com Reported - CBS ArcSafe, a leading U.S. manufacturer of remote racking/racking-out and switching solutions for low- and medium-voltage switchgear, has introduced the RRS-3 VY Toshiba remote racking/racking-out system for operating Toshiba VY-30M25A circuit breakers. The system features a rotary racking/racking-out design that allows technicians to perform operations from up to 300 feet away, keeping them outside the arc flash safety boundary.

The device is designed for large commissioning and planned maintenance scenarios, reducing operator fatigue and improving efficiency when working on multiple circuit breakers in succession. The system installs quickly, operates automatically, is easy to remove, and requires no modifications to existing switchgear.

The RRS-3 VY Toshiba weighs 18.5 pounds, making it easy to move between circuit breaker units. The system draws 100 watts and is operated via the RSO-IV-M18 control console, which is powered by a Milwaukee® M18™ REDLITHIUM battery pack. The adjustable operating distance of 12 to 300 feet allows field personnel to flexibly set their position based on room layout, equipment conditions, and safety procedures.

Because the racking/racking-out process requires no direct contact between the operator and the equipment, the system can reduce or even eliminate reliance on arc flash protective clothing. CBS ArcSafe offers the electrical industry's largest inventory of remote racking/racking-out and switching solutions for low- and medium-voltage switchgear. All products are manufactured at its Denton, Texas, facility and are backed by 24/7/365 emergency support and custom remote operation solution development services.
