New Delhi: Eaton today unveiled its new ArcGaurd metal enclosed switchgear, an Eaton Green Leaf Label Solution, designed to enhance operator safety for industrial, commercial and utility customers. This arc-resistant, metal-enclosed load interrupter switchgear provides centralized control and protection for medium-voltage power distribution equipment.
“The ArcGard switchgear is part of more than 40 Eaton arc flash prevention solutions and builds on more than 60 years of switchgear innovation,” states Javvad Qasimi, product manager at Eaton.
Eaton’s recent addition meets stringent standards of sustainability and efficiency. In terms of sustainability, Eaton switchgear solutions avoid the use of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) technology, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. Moreover, the environmentally-friendly switching technology incorporated in the switchgear enhances operator safety during maintenance operations whereas the arc chute and flicker blade technology means arcing is minimized between the main blades and stationary contacts for increased equipment life.
Eaton’s ArcGard switchgear meets American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and C37.20.7 arc-resistant standards for personnel protection. Additionally, the ArcGard switchgear is seismically tested to meet International Building Code (IBC) 2006 and California Building Code (CBC) 2007 standards.
