Arc Flash Protection Solutions
R&B Switchgear Group offer a specialist range of arc flash mitigation solutions for low and medium voltage switchgear,
Unlike conventional switchgear, arc-resistant switchgear is designed with reinforced compartments that can withstand incredible pressure increases during high-energy arc faults. Arc-resistant switchgear offers a safe, proven, and cost-effective solution to the problem of arc flash events. Why do I need Arc-Resistant Switchgear?
Because arc-resistant switchgear is specifically designed to contain and limit the damage incurred from internal arc faults, it provides the highest degree of protection to personnel, long-term savings, and a significant reduction in downtime.
Generally, this type of switchgear will come with flaps that open under the intense pressure of arcing energy. The flaps allow the heated gases of an arc flash and the pressure to safely vent out of the enclosure and away from the operator. When venting arc flash gases outside of the switchgear room is necessary, extra duct work is used.
