Arc-Resistant, Metal-Clad SafeGear insures
optimum safety and operational reliability.
Medium Voltage Arc Resistant Switchgear
VisiVolt voltage indicato
installed directly on the
bus bar, provides visual
voltage indication for
improved operator safet
Arc resistance offers protection from objects or hot gases that
might be ejected during an arc fault.
Vents and flaps are located on top of the enclosure to release the
pressure. This significantly reduces operator risk during handling
and operation of the equipment.
SafeGears level of arc resistance helps protect workers from the
catastrophic effects of an internal arc fault, and also helps protect
nearby equipment from collateral damage.
More than 25 years experience in arc resistant switchgear
First manufacturer of two-high arc resistant switchgear; the
ABB design allows for flexibility in configurations and promotes
superior safety performance
Small arc resistant footprint allows ABB switchgear to fit into
tighter spaces
Large arc-resistant window allows the operator to check position
and status of circuit breaker without opening the cell door
Available in ratings up to 15 kV, 3,000 A, 50 kA
