Boston-(Business wire-Schneider Electric, a world leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, announced that its flash mitigation solution, ArcBlok ™, has been recognized as the best power product and most innovative new technology in the Electro Expo 2022. ..
ArcBlok is a breakthrough innovation specifically designed for the line side of equipment, with the highest risk of injury to electrical contractors due to accidental energy exposure during an arc flash. The award-winning offer is an easy-to-use, passive and cost-effective solution that protects people and equipment by reducing the potential damage and impact of arc flash accidents.
Designed for low-voltage monitor control centers and switchboards (currently up to 2500A), this solution is equipped with digital thermal monitoring to help identify end users, facility managers, and potential hazards. Specifically, ArcBlok includes the following features that bring performance updates to flash mitigation:
- PowerPac TP Mold Circuit Breaker: Designed to protect electrical systems from damage caused by overloads and short circuits, listed in UL489 standard and certified to Canadian standard C22.2 No.5.
- Steel barrier: Designed to prevent foreign objects such as hands, dropped nuts, and screwdrivers from entering the energizing line side.
- Redesigned MCC Interior: Includes a new lifting handle, outward bolts for easy alignment, and a robust enclosure with a separate phase for an internal barrier to contain and extinguish arc flash events on line-side conductors.
- Wireless heat sensor: Monitor thermal measurements and send data to mobile Device while maintenance personnel are standing outside the arc flash zone and checking
- Bento: Guides arc flash energy and minimizes the potential impact of arc flash events
“ArcBlok embodies Schneider Electric’s commitment to safety and provides customers with tools to improve operations while increasing personnel and building safety,” said Schneider Electric’s SVP Power Products NAM Hub. Michael Lotfy says. “We are excited to see our innovative ArcBlok solution recognized in the industry. ArcBlok is a cost-effective solution to proactively identify and mitigate the dangerous risks posed by arc flash. We look forward to continuing to provide next-generation tools that the industry relies on to work as easily and safely as possible. ”
With digital insights for predictive analytics and maintenance, ArcBlok prevents the occurrence of arc flashes by allowing the system to separate conductors on the line side, reducing the possibility of accidental contact. In the event of an arc flash, an innovative solution reduces incident energy exposure to less than 1.2 cal / cm2 on the line side, disappears in less than one cycle (16 ms), and potentially damages equipment and personnel. Will decrease.
ArcBlok was built to meet the growing demands of customers for simpler and more secure solutions for dealing with incident energy. This system provides customers with a way to provide installation, test run, and service at a lower cost while minimizing equipment downtime and reducing the requirements for personal protective equipment without compromising safety. To do. SE will expand its family of ArcBlok offers based on customer feedback and will add new ones later this year.
The Electro Expo Product Achievement Awards program recognizes industry leaders in professionalism, ingenuity and originality in the areas of electricity, lighting, communication systems and clean energy. Industry-wide judges have selected winners based on specific criteria that recognize a company’s commitment to product advantage and customer satisfaction. Best power products are awarded to the most prominent power products in the industry.
