CBS ArcSafe, a manufacturer specializing in remote operation solutions for electrical switchgear, has introduced the RSK-SACE3 Remote Switch Kit. This latest device is specifically designed to enable technicians to safely operate ABB/SACE EMAX2 air circuit breakers from a distance of 30 to 50 feet away, thereby reducing their exposure to potentially dangerous arc flash hazards.
The RSK-SACE3 Remote Switch Kit is a lightweight and portable unit, weighing just 3.5 pounds. It is compatible with a wide range of EMAX2 breaker frame sizes rated from 800 to 6000 amperes and can be swiftly attached and detached using strong magnets without necessitating any permanent modifications to the existing equipment.
The kit includes a handheld controller powered by standard AA batteries, which provides a practical and long-lasting power source for numerous operations.
