VaultGard™, Arc-Resistant Low Voltage Switchgear Draw Accolades (and Improve Your Electrical Infrastructure!)
Eaton’s Electrical Sector continues to show its diversity in innovation by having two products honored as Product of the Year in their respective categories by Plant Engineering magazine readers. Smart Grid technology continues to be the buzzword in urban planning, and Eaton's VaultGard™ is Smart Grid's keystone, providing monitoring and remote control for vault systems. Incorporating the latest in Eaton’s innovative technology, VaultGard™ can connect up to 32 network protector relays through existing shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, and is rated for the harsh environmental stresses typically found in underground vaults. The integrated graphics display provides expanded capabilities and enhanced functionality that tracks vital network protector performance metrics. To learn more about VaultGard™, and to view an interactive demonstration, visit our Network Protector microsite at http://www.networkprotectors.net Safety is king with Eaton's Arc-Resistant Low Voltage Switchgear Eaton Engineers have long studied the disastrous effects of arc flash events. The thermal energy created by these events can get as high as 35,000ºF, melting away materials and clothing from several feet away. Also consider that the arc blast produced by a lineup of 480 Vac switchgear rated at 85 kA can be equivalent to 20.7 lbs of TNT! To keep both human life and building infrastructure safe in the event of an arcing event, Eaton has introduced this ANSI Type 2 arc-resistant low voltage switchgear. It protects operating and maintenance personnel from dangerous arcing faults by redirecting or channeling the arc energy out the top of the switchgear, regardless of the origination location of the arc. Eaton’s arc-resistant low voltage switchgear has been successfully tested to ANSI C37.20.7 at KEMA-Powertest, and has been UL witnessed and certified. Our latest episode of Gear TV is dedicated to this innovative product, and we invite you to watch host Jill Bellisario discuss its real-world benefits with Product Manager Dan Hrncir.
