GROUNDING SWITCHES

A visible grounding switch lets crews place the entire lineup safely at earth potential before a single panel is opened. With one quick handle stroke, the blades close on a solid ground path you can see through a viewing window—eliminating guesswork and reducing the need for personal grounds on every feeder. Integrated key interlocks ensure doors stay locked until the switch is engaged, so maintenance teams can work with complete confidence.

Key Features:

  • Rated for systems up to 38 kV
  • Single handle grounds the entire bus; viewing window confirms closure
  • Door and key interlocks keep panels locked until grounded
  • Available as factory-installed equipment or retrofit kits for most metal-clad and metal-enclosed gear

ARC QUENCH

The Arcteq AQ quenching module extinguishes an arc in ≈ 4 ms by diverting fault current into a parallel, low-impedance path. Paired with light-and-current detection relays, it drives incident energy below 1.2 cal/cm2—often eliminating the need for heavy PPE and minimizing equipment damage.

Key Features:

  • Compatible with medium- and low-voltage switchgear up to 50 kA
  • Fully resettable—nothing to replace after activation
  • Works with fiber-optic light or point sensors for fastest detection
  • Factory-installed in new gear or supplied as a retrofit module

ADDITIONAL SAFETY DEVICES

Beyond grounding and quenching, we stock and integrate a full suite of protection hardware to modernize existing systems or enhance new builds. Whether you need high-speed relays for selective coordination, maintenance-mode controls for safe testing, or power-quality meters for post-event analysis, we deliver a comprehensive safety package tailored to your plant’s exact requirements.

Key Features:

  • Digital protection relays with configurable ANSI functions for feeders, motors, and transformers
  • Fiber-optic arc-flash sensors and high-speed trip actuators
  • Maintenance-mode key switches that cut clearing time to < 50 ms during service
  • Revenue-grade power metering and waveform capture for incident forensics
