ArcShield Arc-Resistant Controller

Bulletin 1500 Medium Voltage Motor Controllers with ArcShield Arc-Resistant Control

CENTERLINE® ArcShield™ Arc-Resistant controller provides rugged process control for applications requiring a higher level of personnel protection. ArcShield products are compliant to IEEE C37.20.7 standard and provide Type 2B protection. During an arc flash, the ArcShield controller safely redirects the arc flash energy out the top of the unit and away from personnel. This level of protection is also maintained when the low voltage door is open for maintenance purposes.

 

Features

  • Arc vent on the cabinet roof, to safely exhaust arc flash energy overhead (meeting IEEE C37.20.7, Type 2B)
  • Three isolated compartments: power bus, low voltage, and power cell
  • Reinforced large swing-out low voltage panel sealed to prevent entry of arc flash material
  • Type 2B accessibility
  • Isolation switch with visible indication that the power cell is not energized
  • CENTERLINE® horizontal power bus with removable cover plates for accessibility
  • Reinforced cabinet and power cell door, including a robust power cell door closure mechanism to contain arc flash material, at faults up to 40 kA, 0.5 seconds
