Solution Highlight

Creating an arc-free electrical environment is ideal to keep workers safe from arc flash hazards. But, replacing all your installed electrical equipment to get the highest protection levels isn’t realistic. Eaton offers a wide range of arc flash safety solutions that are especially designed for retrofit application to existing equipment and deliver the highest worker protection levels, while maintaining current asset investments.

One of the most effective add-on protection solutions for low voltage power breakers is Eaton’s Arcflash Reduction Maintenance System™. This retrofit device allows maintenance personnel to lower fault clearing time and available arc flash energy using innovative and patented technology. The Arcflash Reduction Maintenance System is activated either locally or remotely to lower hazard risk category and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements and can be installed on Eaton, as well as, other manufacturer’s breaker products.
