Significantly reduces risk of exposure to direct blast or projectiles during an arc flash event. Personnel can operate the racking mechanism of circuit breakers from a distance of up to 9 metres (30 feet) allowing operators to be outside of the arc flash boundary
Enhances operator peace of mind with multiple safety features:
Self-test for correct operation gives visual indication the device is working properly
Visual indication warns the operator when the racking mechanism has completed its cycle for consideration when moving back into the arc flash boundary area
Improves efficiency of maintenance and installation personnel with a lightweight and portable design:
With a simple connection design, the Masterpact NW, MTZ2, MTZ3 remote racking device can be easily attached and operated by one person
Can be easily transferred from one circuit breaker to another during maintenance or installation procedures
No application limitations based on height or position of circuit breaker
Compact protective case with retractable handle and wheels can be easily maneuvered even in tight spaces
Aids in user compliance with arc flash personnel protection as listed in CSA Z462, NFPA 70E
