CBS ArcSafe has launched a remote switch actuator for the General Electric Type High-Pressure Contact (HPC) switch applications. The RSA-73B switch actuator allows technicians to remotely close or trip the GE HPC switch from a safe distance of up to 300 feet while being stationed outside of the arc-flash boundary.
CBS ArcSafe's switch actuator can be used in higher fault current systems such as main service disconnects, feeder disconnects, or branch circuit disconnects. The device — compatible with Type HPC switches with ratings of 800–1600 A — offers manual or electric trip with top feed.
All switch actuator units are portable and employ CBS ArcSafe’s magnetic latching system to ensure that installation and operation don't require any modifications to the existing electrical equipment. The RSA-73B units also comply with NFPA 70E arc-flash safety standard.
CBS ArcSafe also offers optional features for its switch actuator, including radio remote with range of up to 300 feet, wireless video camera system with LCD monitor, 24-Vdc LED light, and rugged protective case assembly.
