For complete protection for surrounding operators and personnel RIC Power Corp offers Arc Resistant Switchgear. Combining high strength steel, a compartmentalized and reinforced structure, and plenum and exhaust chute, Arc Resistant Switchgear contains and protects from potentially hazardous arcing events.
Now available: 25kV, 25kA Arc Resistant Switchgear.
In May, 2020, RIC Power Corp. passed destructive testing to certify its 25kV Arc Resistant Type 2B design. We are happy to now provide a complete offering of 5/15/25kV Arc Resistant Switchgear.
Significantly reinforced steel structure offers protection from arc fault events.
In arc fault situation the specifically designed plenum and exhaust chute redirects hazardous materials away from surrounding area.
Engineers utilize 3D modelling to create an arc resistant switchgear that fits the specific application.
Other ratings available upon request.
